NOTES
Additional Information:The previously inventoried house is a one and one-half story Gothic Revival building with a cross gable plan.
It appears to date to ca. 1900. The front (south-facing) facade is symmetrical, with a central gabled bay and full length
porch. Classical Revival elements are present on the porch. Fluted Doric columns support the porch roof, which is
accented with dentils and a central pediment. The cross gable bay features two double hung windows on the ground floor
with flanking paneled doors and double hung windows. The second floor features a pair of double hung windows in the
center bay, flanked by two gabled dormers with double hung windows. Decorative vergeboards are present in the gables.
A single story addition has been constructed on the westernmost elevation. The house is clad in vinyl siding and an
asphalt shingle roof. The foundation is not visible.

The house displays elements of both Gothic Revival and Classical Revival styles, but it is not a fully developed expression
of either style. It also displays a loss of integrity due to the prominent west addition, replacement siding, and replacement windows.
