| Additional Information: | This structure is good as an example of residences built in the 1890s. Constructed of Cream City brick it is one of the few extant examples in this area. Eclectic in its design, borrowing from the Queen Anne and the early Colonial Revival, it is in excellent condition and has retained its original form. Of note is the massive springing arch used in the entry. Unusual form of cream brick and shingle residence in nearly original condition. For additional photo see retake #2, neg. 35. |
