Additional Comments
TWO-STORY HOUSE WITH FANCY BARGEBOARD AND SEGMENTED WINDOWS ON TOWER. FEATURES ARCHED PORCH. THE DESIGN OF THIS FRAME RESIDENCE IS DOMINATED BY A THREE STORY TOWER (WITH MANSARD ROOF) CANTED TO THE BODY OF THE HOUSE. THE ASYMMETRICAL PLAN AND PICUTRESQUE DETAILS SUGGEST AN ITALIANATE INFLUENCE. THE MAIN GABLE, ADJOINING THE TOWER RETAINS BARGEBOARD AND FINIAL. THE DESIGN IS VERY RESTRAINED, DEPENDING ON JUXTAPOSITION OF SHAPES RATHER THAN ORNAMENTATION. THE RESIDENCE IS ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT AS A REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLE OF A PERIOD OF CONSTRUCTION. ALTHOUGH A NUMBER OF VERNACULAR T SHAPED BUILDINGS REMAIN IN THE CITY, THIS IS THE ONLY DESIGN TO INCORPORATE THE TOWER AND TO RETAIN A FAIR AMOUNT OF DECORATION.
