*P3a.  Description:  (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
This one-story house at the corner of Summit Avenue and E. Maple Street is an example of a vernacular hipped-roof cottage with Colonial Revival influences. The roof, which has a low hip with flared boxed eaves, has a central hipped roof dormer on the west, north and south elevations. The full-width recessed front porch is supported by Tuscan columns and has a simple wood railing and Arroyo stone sidewalls flanking the steps. A polygonal bay projects from the south elevation. The house has a composition shingle roof; walls clad in narrow exposure wood lap siding with corner boards; a concrete foundation; wood double-hung windows in wood-framed openings; and an original wood front door with a rectangular glass panel in a wood-framed opening. The relatively large yard is surrounded by a chain-link fence. The rear garage was built in 1937 and the second house on the property was built in 1914. Neither building is visible from Summit Avenue, the focal point of the district; they are visible from E. Maple Street and Townsend Place, a small road stub at the eastern edge of the district boundary.
