*P3a.  Description:  (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
This one-story house is another example of the hipped cottage subtype (with Colonial Revival detailing) designed by Charles Greene & Henry Greene during the early years of their careers. It has features to the adjacent house at 442 Summit Avenue. Similarities include use of fluted Ionic columns and pilasters, gabled dormers with and scrolled foliated ornament in the pediment of the front portico, roof material, windows, front porch and Arroyo stone retaining wall. Differences include the attenuated block modillions (in place of curving extended rafter tails); a frieze with Vitruvian scrolled plaster ornament on the front elevation; the exterior walls clad in wood lap siding; the front door design, including stained glass and leaded glass sidelights and transom; the absence of a garage; and the perimeter ornamental-steel fencing.
