| Additional Information: | 2012: This property is a c.1940, two-story, gable-ell residence with Colonial Revival influences. Walls are clad in cream brick; the steeply pitched gable roof has raked eaves and is covered with wood shingles. A projecting enclosed entryway is located on the north-facing main elevation at the junction of the ell and main block. The gable-roof entryway has a Federal-style door surround with a broken-scroll pediment above a dentilated architrave, supported by fluted pilasters. Lower story window openings contain paired units with nine-over-nine, leaded glass sash behind vinyl storm sash. Upper story openings contain single nine-over-nine sash in the gable ends and six-light casement sash on the eaves sides. Eave-side windows are positioned just below the frieze boards, but other openings on the main elevation have large dentilated cornice lintels. A cream brick exterior chimney is attached to the east side of the main block, though it has been removed above the level of the roof. A semicircular window is located beneath the peak of the front gable. 2019: Little or no change. Update photo 2022: According to notes on photographs from residents of the house, the house moved to this location in 1956 from Port Washington Road. |
