NOTES
Additional Information:Resurveyed 2023 by HRL/Vogel: Architectural Description: The house built in 1933 for the church’s parson is a one-and-one-half story, side gable structure oriented on an east/west axis. What was likely an open porch is now enclosed and occupies the west two-thirds of the primary, south-facing façade. It claims the front door, to the right (east) of which is a single, one-over-one-light double hung window, to the further right of which, in the brick wall, is a single unit of paired, double-hung, one-over-one-light sashes. To the left (west) of the doorway, in the presumed enclosed porch, are three double-hung, one-over-one-light sashes. A gabled dormer with two, centered, one-over-one-light, double hung sashes, is centered in the south-facing roof plane. The west endwall has a small, projecting bay while a single window is in the gable peak. Projecting to the north is two-story wing, to the north of which is a brick garage with a hipped roof.
