NOTES
Additional Information:This two-story, gable-ell house was constructed c.1900. It is of frame construction and is sheathed in wood cladding, with an L-plan. The gable-ell roof is covered in metal with an interior corbelled brick chimney and cornice returns. The windows on the front (north)-facing gable are original, one-over-one, double-hung sash and windows on the ell are single-pane, fixed sash. Although obscured by foliage, there appears to be a covered porch with metal roof on the side (east) elevation. East of the main house is a modern shed. It is of frame construction and is sheathed in wood cladding, with a rectangular plan. The side-gable roof is covered in asphalt shingles. The front (west) facade door is wood with nine panes.
