Additional Comments
This 2-story Front Gabled house was constructed in 1865. It is rectangular in plan with a concrete foundation, vinyl siding,
and an asphalt-shingled gable roof. The front elevation faces southeast and is asymmetrical in plan due to an off-center
front door. A 1-story, hipped-roof front porch spans the width of the elevation and has squared wood supports with
decorative capitals and a simple wood railing. The first story contains two 1-over-1 windows and a single front door.
Three 1-over-1 windows are located at the second story of the front elevation.

Resurveyed July 2012; changes include the replacement of the 6-over-6 windows in the front elevation with newer 1-over-1 windows and the addition of a new porch railing.
