Resource Description: |
Style: Vernacular Hipped Cottage | |
One contributing building (house). This one-story house is an example of the Vernacular Hipped Cottage subtype. Apart from the main hipped roof, it has a separate hipped roof over the half-width front porch, which is supported by Tuscan columns, and two hipped-roof dormers with shingled side walls on the north and south elevations. Extended eaves have paired cutout rafters. The roof of the house is covered in composition shingles and the walls are clad in narrow exposure wood lap siding with corner boards except on the porch walls, which have mitered corners. Polygonal bays project from the north and south elevations. The house has an Arroyo stone foundation, vinyl replacement windows in wood-framed and pedimented openings and a non-original front door with an oval light in an original wood-framed opening. The building at the rear of the property is on a separate lot, which is not included in the district boundary due to a later construction date. The house retains much of its original character, despite the minor alterations that have occurred; therefore, it retains integrity and is contributing to the district.
