Additional Comments
This two-story Dutch Colonial Revival house has a gambrel roof, broad side gables that are shingled, a vinyl-clad first story, and a two-story projecting bay on the front wall. This bay is topped with a pediment that is decorated with an occulus window. Other openings are generally single light double-hung sashes with an abundance of leaded muntin decoration. A palladian-type window decorates the first story rear ell.

This house is a good example of a simple variation of the Dutch Colonial Revival style.

This was the home of William and Jennie Wise between 1903 and 1942. William Wise was a dentist.

Initial research indicates that the occupants of this house are not historically significant.
