It has a rectilinear footprint, a hipped roof with a hipped dormer, and a single story front porch that spans the width of the facade. The brick porch has a half hipped roof with wide eaves and heavy brick posts. The western two thirds of the porch are enclosed with a brick knee wall and five pairs of casement windows with continuous concrete sills. Each window is divided into six narrow lights; the upper lights are significantly smaller than the bottom. The eastern third of the porch is open, sheltered by a cross gable with heavy brick posts. The main entrance is located under the cross gable and features a partially glazed door and sidelights. A simple frieze band with vertical wood siding wraps the building and its porch at the roof juncture. The second story favade is divided into three fenestration bays. The center bay on the favade second story is occupied by a pair of small casement windows, each divided into four narrow lights with the bottom lights larger than the top. The outer two bays on the second story feature paired sash windows with the upper sash divided into six lights of uneven size, with the bottom center being the largest; the bottom sash is a single light. This window type is repeated with single windows on the other second story elevations. The first story of the east elevation has two larger window sets. The northern most is a box window with a wide flat roof that projects from the wall. The window features four wood sashes with multiple lights over a single light. The southernmost window set features a central fixed window with transom above, it is flanked by smaller sash windows with multiple lights over a single light." - "Washington Ave (STH 20), Roosevelt Ave to West Blvd", WISDot #2440-09-00, Prepared by Shelley Greene (2015). |
