Excellent example of this form of bungalow in nearly original condition. Note brick and stucco exterior finish, flared eave boards, segmental triple window in dormer and jerkinhead roof.

Construction date, 1922. (1)

Resurveyed March 2017; no visible changes.

This 2-story Craftsman bungalow was constructed in 1922. It is rectangular in plan with brick walls and an asphalt-shingled side-gabled roof with exposed rafter ends. The front elevation faces east and is asymmetrical in plan with a full-width recessed front porch. The porch features tapered brick piers at the front corners and a brick half wall along the front with a break for a set of concrete steps. Inside the porch is a bank of four 1-over-1 windows and a 3-sided bay that contains the front door and two narrow windows on each side. The house’s front roof slope contains a central dormer with a hipped roof and a bank of three 1-over-1 windows. The windows are semi-recessed in the main roof slope and combine to form a shallow arch.
