NOTES
Additional Information:This house contributes to the proposed Jefferson Avenue Historic District as a good example of the "Cape Cod" variation of the Colonial Revival style. The one and one-half story house with projecting dormers is the typical form of the style. The symmetrical fenestration and wood shingle exterior are also features of the style.
