| Additional Information: | The Deck house is a two story, plus attic, frame residence. A gable roofed section, with bevelled corners, is preceded by a one story porch and merges with the main hip roofed section of the building. Canted to the south corner of the house is a three story rectangular tower topped by a steep hip roof. The impact of this component of the design is amplified by the sitting of the house on the southern slope of a major hill. House was restored by Don Taylor, a banker. |
