Its symmetrical façade contains a central entry door flanked by four windows. The entry door surround includes pilasters; slender, multi-light sidelights; and a linear, multi-light transom. A hip-roofed porch supported by turned posts and finished with a turned post balustrade, simple decorative brackets, and a spindlework frieze shelters the center three bays of the façade. The north and south (side) elevations are each lit by four sash windows, two to each story. A small gabled addition extends from the west (rear) elevation and connects via a breezeway with a small gabled garage. Both the addition and garage are clad with aluminum siding. A front-gabled barn or large shed stands at the rear of the property. It is clad with asphalt sheets, sheltered by a metal roof, has a shed-roofed lean to on its west (side) elevation, and is accessed by multiple batten doors. |
