| Additional Information: | This Two Story Cube house was constructed c.1910. It is rectangular in plan with rock-faced concrete block walls (exhibiting a broken-ashlar pattern) and an asphalt-shingled hipped roof with overhanging eaves. The front elevation faces west and is symmetrical in composition with a central entry porch that consists of a hipped roof with squared wood supports and a base that has been altered with new railings and a wood ADA ramp. Modern wood trellising encloses both sides of the porch. A single, large 1-over-1 window is located on each side of the porch at the first story. The second story contains two smaller 1-over-1 windows, the placement of which is mirrored by those at the first story. All windows have smooth, painted concrete sills and lintels. |
