There is a fireplace in the living room and casement windows open inward over tile sills. There is a beam and girder ceiling. An additional bedroom and bathroom were added in unfinished storage space on the second floor in 1977. The house is architectrually significant because it is one of a group of stone masonry houses built by Arnold F. Meyer & Company, Inc. according to Ernest Flagg's methods of construction.

This is one of five Flagg System houses in this neighborhood. |
