Additional Comments
Original cost of construction was $15,000. This structure is an excellent example of a Queen Anne residence. Its assymetrical form is embellished with a variety of bays, oriels, and brickwork. It is one of the few extant examples which remain in this once highly residential area. For additional photos see Retake #3, Neg. 6-7.
