One contributing building (house). This two-story house is an example of the Folk Victorian subtype. It has a rectangular plan and a gabled roof oriented toward the street. The roof is covered in composition shingles and has a barge board with cutout ornament and hexagonal shingles in the gable end. The full-width front porch has a hipped roof that is supported by turned wood posts. The house has a concrete foundation, wood drop channel siding with corner boards and capitals, and wood double-hung windows in pedimented openings with decorative sills. A small one-story hipped roof bay projects from the north side of the house. The front door has been replaced within the original wood-framed opening. The house retains much of its original character, despite the alteration to the front door; therefore, it retains integrity and is contributing to the district.
