| Additional Information: | This house contributes to the proposed Jefferson Avenue Historic District as an interesting example of the Dutch Colonial Revival style. It has the typical style features of gambrel roof and projecting dormers. But, its overall form and massing is different from most examples of the style. It has had remodeling that has covered up some original details. |
