| Additional Information: | THIS SIDE GABLED HOUSE FEATURES A PAINTED BRICK AND WOODEN EXTERIOR AND A GABLE ROOF. THE DESIGN OF THE DWELLING LOOKS AS IF TWO DIFFERENT HOUSES WERE CO-JOINED TOGETHER. A CLAPBOARDED WING EXTENDS AT THE REAR OF THE MAIN BRICK STRUCTURE. APPEARING ON THIS CLAPBOARDED PORTION IS A SMALL, CORNER PORTICO, WHICH HAS ITS ROOF SUPPORTED BY BRACKETS. METAL AWNINGS ARE USED OVER THE WINDOWS ON THE BRICK PORTION. THE OLDEST PART OF THE BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN C. 1840. BEFORE ITS DEMOLITION IN 1991, THIS RESIDENCE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. |
