| Additional Information: | This 2-story Cross Gabled house was constructed c.1900. It is rectangular in plan with asbestos siding and an asphalt-shingled, steeply-pitched, cross-gabled roof. The front elevation faces northwest and is asymmetrical in composition with the front door located at the southern end of the façade. The door is sheltered by a small shed awning. North of the door is a 6-pane window. The second story of the façade contains two singly placed 1-over-1 windows. A single-pane window is located at the attic level below the gable. The southwest elevation contains a picture window flanked by multi-pane sidelights and a diamond-shaped single-pane window at the first story; two singly placed 1-over-1 windows are located at the second story. This building is largely obscured by heavy tree growth and other foliage. |
