| Additional Information: | This two-story vernacular clapboard house combines a number of stylistic details in a haphazard manner to include a shingled and windowed front end gable and proportions of Queen Anne styles and bargeboard and picturesque plan typical of earlier architectural styles. Roofing materials are original and rare. House is very similar to 1004 Chapple Avenue (22-35). |
