Resource Description: |
This one-and-one-half-story house is an example of the Folk Victorian subtype (with some Colonial Revival details). It has a cross-gabled roof with the roof of the southerly bay being oriented toward the street and the northerly bay oriented toward the side with a street-facing shed-roofed dormer. Gables have a barge board with sawn-wood ornament, returns, ends clad in rectangular wood shingles and a pair of wood double-hung windows. The projecting half-width front porch, attached to the northerly bay, has a shed roof supported by simple square wood posts and a simple wooden railing. The house has a composition shingle roof; walls clad in wood tongue-and-groove siding with corner boards; wood tongue-and-groove skirting at the base; wood and vinyl double-hung, fixed and transom windows in wood-framed openings, some of which have friezes and dentiled cornices; and an original wood front door with a rectangular light in a wood-framed opening. The front yard is slightly elevated above street level by an Arroyo stone retaining wall topped by a picket fence of a wood composite material. The rear house was likely built in 1925; the date of garage construction is undetermined. The garage is obscured from street view, thus it is not possible to determine whether it is contributing. It appears to match, with the exception of an addition to the side, the footprint size of an original one-and-one-half story building in the same location that is depicted on 1903 and 1910 Sanborn Fire Insurance maps.
