located at the western edge of the district on the north side of the street. Two-story frame house rests on a cut-stone foundation and is sheathed in clapboard. The house possesses elements of the Queen Anne style, including patterned shingles, decorative brackets, and an irregular plan. Gable ends on the front and side elevations are clad in patterned shingles and display bargeboards with decorative details and are supported by ornamental brackets.
Windows are predominantly one-over-one double-hung sash with wood surrounds and crowns accented with decorative scroll-cut swags. Two original fixed-frame picture windows with headers are located on the front (south) and west elevations. Shed-roof awnings supported by decorative brackets shelter each window. The historic shed-roof front porch has been enclosed and rebuilt with a concrete block foundation. A modern bay window accented with decorative brackets has been added to the porch facade.
An exterior staircase, located on the west elevation, accesses a second-story entrance. A modern garage with a concrete foundation has been attached to the rear. This house retains its historic form, siding material, and decorative Queen Anne details.
A c.1890 carriage house is located at the rear of the property. According to Sanborn maps, this building was converted into a residence on a subdivided lot by 1928. Because this building no longer retains its original appearance or function, and does not contribute to the residential character of the district, it was omitted from the district boundary.
Algard lived here until at least 1901. Although Fischer did not build the house, he was the second resident and lived in it for a number of years. Fischer served as the local depot agent and was associated with the house during the period of significance.
