NOTES
Additional Information:Excellent early example of the style having reference to American Foursquare style houses of the period, as well. The full width combination gable and hip roofed front porch is supported by two square corner piers and two Ionic Order inner columns. The corner piers are doubled by pilasters on the main facade behind. The centrally placed front door is flanked by excellent geometric pattern leaded and bevelled glass side lites all of which are part of the shallow rectilinear entrance vestibule. There is a large segmental arched dormer facing the front and there is a hip roof polygonal bay window on both the north and south facing facades. Garage behind the house is modern.
