Style: Vernacular Hipped Cottage 


One contributing building (house) and one non-contributing building (garage). The house was relocated to the site from 537 Cypress Avenue, near the northerly boundary of the district, and rehabilitated in 1997. This one-story house is an example of the Vernacular Hipped Cottage subtype. It has two small gables, one with a shed at the bottom, with wood fish-scale shingles in the gable ends projecting from the main hipped roof. The house has a recessed, half-width front porch supported by turned support posts topped with curved brackets with a cutout cross-diagonal detail and with a simple wood railing. The house sits on a newer concrete foundation, but the original wood tongue-and-groove skirting remains above the new foundation. The house has a composition shingle roof; wood drop channel siding with corner boards; wood casement, double-hung and transom windows in wood-framed openings, including a three-sided bay on the south elevation; and an original wood-framed front door opening. The door itself is obscured from view by a new metal screen. The property also has a newer opening. The door itself is obscured from view by a new metal screen. The property also has a newer two-car garage, built on the site when it was moved and oriented toward W. Villa Street, which is compatible in design with the main house. The house is in excellent condition and, although relocated from its original site, retains integrity due to its significance under Criterion C
