Non-contributing due to extensive alteration within the past 30
years, this house retains one clapboard wall within the enclosed
porch at the south, which contains windows topped by peaked lintel
boards - an Italianate style feature that attests to the original
age of this structure. The house was remodeled to the Bungalow style
around 1920, perhaps by A.A. Allen, whose name appears on a 1921
Water permit for the site. The broad, low-pitched gables , truss
bracketed eaves, south bay window, and bank of windows in the south
porch all date from this period. The dormer, siding and alterations to
the recessed porches all date to the last remodeling.
