After 1955 and into the late 1960s, the house was occupied by Thomas McArdle 2011- "This Dutch Colonial Revival-style house is sheathed with clapboard on the first floor and wooden shingles over the upper level. The main (west) faced is dominated by a shed-roof porch that is enclosed with a clapboard porch wall and a continuous bank of three-over-one, double-hung sashes. The southern end of the porch blends into a tripattite bay outfitted with one-over-one, double-hung sashes, the main one of which carries an ornamental, transom-like upper sash. The front roof slope is interrupted by two small gabled, as well as a larger gambrel-roof dormer; all of which are pierced with replacement casement windows. Modern casements occupy both of the second-floor endwalls; however, an oval window is located at the peak. The rear (east) elevation carries a gabled wing which is pierced by a modern sliding door, octagonal window and casement windows. Assessor records cite a 1903 date of construction.
