Additional Comments
This 2-story Front Gabled house was constructed in 1888. It is rectangular in plan with vinyl siding and an asphalt-shingled
gable roof. The front elevation faces southeast and is asymmetrical in plan with a gabled bay window at the
northern end and a door at the southern end. The door has a slight pilaster surround with pediment above and is
accessed by a concrete stoop with metal handrails. Decorative patterned shingles are located along the base of the bay
window.

Resurveyed August 2012; changes include the addition of vinyl siding throughout and the addition of patterned shingles to the bay window.
