NOTES
Additional Information:This two and one-half story front gable house has a steeply-pitched intersecting gable roof with returned eaves. The gable ends are shingled in a scalloped pattern. The rest of the house is covered with clapboards. Windows are largely single light sashes. The front porch has been enclosed.

This house is a good example of the front gable vernacular form.
