Resource Description: |
This one-story house, an early example of the work of Charles Greene & Henry Greene, is an example of the Vernacular Hipped Cottage subtype, with Colonial Revival details including dentiled rails in window openings; engaged, partially fluted pilasters with Ionic capitals; and paired exposed rafters with rounded and cut-out ends. The flared ends of the multiple hipped roofs lend a certain exoticism to the overall design. The gableroofed portico at the front entry has a shallow pediment with a plaster cartouche with wreaths and garlands (which are not original to the house); the porch roof is supported by fluted Ionic columns matching the pilasters on the house. The porch is enclosed by a simple wood railing with turned balusters set amid square newel posts. The house has a composition shingle roof; walls clad in drop channel wood siding; a concrete foundation; wood double-hung, fixed and transom windows with leaded glass in wood-framed openings (including one oval-shaped window with a leaded fleur-de-lis on the front elevation); and an original wood door with a rectangular glass panel that has a large diamond shaped muntin in a wood-framed opening and is flanked by sidelights with interlacing gothic-style muntins, which also appear in the upper sash of double-hung windows on the street-facing elevation. The front yard is slightly elevated above street level by an Arroyo stone retaining wall topped by a wood picket fence.
