NOTES
Additional Information:This one-and-one-half story bungalow has a low-pitched gable roof, gable-roofed dormers, wide eaves, and brackets. The first floor is clad with brick and there is a wrap-around brick veranda accenting the main facade of the building. This house is a good example of a simple variation of the bungalow style.
