NOTES
Additional Information:Built in 1890, this two-story, rectangular-plan, side-gable vernacular residence has a steeply pitched roof, contrasting wall materials, and decorative elements showing the influence of the Queen Anne style. Walls are clad in clapboard and the roof is covered with asphalt shingles. The house has a large projecting intersecting gable centered on its south-facing main elevation. The gable features boxed eaves with returned cornices, verge-boards with an applied vegetal decoration, and a finial at its peak. A paired of narrow, one-over-one, double-hung, vinyl windows is recessed and the wall plane curves inward on either side to meet the edge of the casing. Above the window, the gable’s wall surface is clad in decorative wood shingles, though the other walls are clad in vinyl siding. The main entrance is located on the south elevation immediately to the right of the projecting gable. Window openings contain vinyl, one-over-one, replacement sash.
