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


One contributing building (house) and one non-contributing building (second unit). This one-story house is an example of the Vernacular Hipped Cottage subtype. It has a rectangular plan and a gable-on-hip roof with a central hipped roof dormer. The gable end and the sides of the dormer are clad in wood fish-scale shingles. The full-width front porch has a hipped roof supported by turned wood posts and simple wood railing. The semicircular concrete porch steps, trimmed in brick, were installed in 1939/ The house has a roof covered in composition shingles; walls clad in wood drop channel siding with corner boards; wood tongue-and-groove skirting at the base; and wood double-hung, fixed and casement windows in original wood-framed openings. The front door, which has a leaded glass transom with house number above, appears to be a replacement door, but is compatible with the character of doors from the period. The property is surrounded by a vinyl picket fence. Because the replacement window sashes and front door are within their original openings, the house retains integrity and is contributing to the district.
