Additional Comments
This two-story gabled ell house was constructed c.1849. It is rectangular in plan with vinyl siding and an asphalt-shingled gable roof. The front elevation faces south and is asymmetrical in composition. The two-story front-gabled mass comprising the west half of the building features an exterior chimney at the center that projects through the roof peak; the chimney has been clad in vinyl siding. Singly-placed one-over-one windows are located at the first and second stories on both sides of the chimney. The east half of the building is comprised of a one-story, side-gabled mass; the western half of this mass features a recessed porch containing a single one-over-one window and a door. Another one-over-one window is located east of this.
