Resource Description:
This one-story house is an example of the Vernacular Hipped Cottage subtype. It has a projecting half-width front porch, with a separate hipped roof, at its northwest corner. The porch is supported by square posts with classical capitals and has brick side walls that continue to the foundation of the house and the steps (a later alteration). The remainder of the house has a concrete foundation. The house has a roof covered in composition shingles, exposed rafters with angled ends, walls clad in wood drop channel siding with corner boards, wood casement and double-hung windows in wood-framed openings, some with diamond and elongated lozenge-shape divided lights, and an original wood-paneled front door with a rectangular light, also in a wood-framed opening.
