*P3a.  Description:  (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
Style: Folk Victorian 


One contributing building (house) and one non-contributing building (rear house with attached one-car garage). This two-story house is an example of the Folk Victorian subtype, with Colonial Revival detailing. It has a rectangular plan with a cross-gabled roof form. The roof of the southerly bay has gable returns and is oriented toward the street, while the roof of the northerly bay, which extends to cover the recessed half-width front porch, is oriented toward the side. The porch roof is supported by square fluted wood posts with classical capitals; the posts coinciding with the steps have decorative curvilinear lacelike brackets at the top. The house has a composition shingle roof; walls clad in rectangular wood shingles on the second floor and narrow exposure wood lap siding with corner boards on the first; an Arroyo stone foundation; wood and vinyl double-hung, siding, casement and transom windows in original wood-framed and pedimented openings; and a replacement wood front door in an original wood-framed opening. The property has been replaced; they are within their original openings. As such, the house retains integrity and is contributing to the district.
