Additional Information: | This two-story Tudor Revival house has a complex gable roofline. The second story has a stucco covering with half-timbering in the gables. Wood shingles also decorate the main gable. The first story is constructed of limestone with flared limestone pilasters at the corners of the main gable end. The house has an irregular plan wuth projecting gables and ells. Windows are largely irregular in size and placement, although some are grouped in threes. The half timber effect, limestone construction, and general form and massing suggest the style. The modern interpretation, however, suggest the more streamlined period revival styles of the future. |
