2014- "This 2-story Elizabethan Revival house [48403] was constructed in 1937 for the Hugo Vits family following a design by architects Walter Harry Veenendahl and George F. Spinti III. It is irregular in plan with stone walls and a side-gabled roof. The south elevation contains a dominant front-gabled entry bay with a central front door. The first story of the south elevation contains a bank of three 6-over-6 windows and several individual 6-over-6 windows. The southern roof slope contains a front-gabled wall dormer with a pair of 6-over-6 windows and two smaller dormers with individual multi-pane windows. A massive stone chimney extends through the gable end of the west elevation. The north elevation (facing the lake shore) features additional multi-pane window banks and gabled dormers.

The 2-story Side Gabled garage [48405] was constructed in 1938. It is T-shaped in plan with stone veneer and vertical board siding and an asphalt-shingled gable roof. The south elevation contains three garage bays with overhead doors; above this in the south roof slope are three front-gabled dormers containing 6-over-6 windows."
