Additional Comments
This 2 1/2story Craftsman house was constructed in 1916 and 1917. It is rectangular in plan with brick walls and an
asphalt-shingled hipped roof. The front elevation faces northwest and is asymmetrical in plan with a 2-story, recessed
front porch across the entire facade . The porch has an off-center front door and has been enclosed by rows of 1-over-1
windows and vinyl siding; supports are squared brick piers. A hipped-roof dormer with a bank of three 1-over-1 windows
is located in the center of the front roof slope.

Map code is 070913105297

Resurveyed August 2012; subsequent changes include the addition of windows and vinyl siding to the porch (previously, the porch was screened in, but without glazed windows).
