One of the few extant examples from this period- it is constructed of Cream City brick and has retained much of its original form and design. An excellent example of a typical brick residence of this period in nearly original condition with an elaborate Italianate style entrance porch. 2021 - This Italianate house was constructed of cream brick circa 1872. The two-story residence is asymmetrical in plan with a coursed limestone foundation and a hipped roof with west-and south-facing gables. The primary façade faces west, and features a flat-roof porch with paired brackets above arched openings supported by Corinthian columns. A flat-roof side porch supported by square posts is located north of the entryway. The southern elevation contains a two-story window bay with bracketed cornices at each story. Windows are two-over-two double hung wooden originals; while on the first story these windows have squared lintels, the second story features segmentally-and round-arched window surrounds. A round window is located in the peak of the west-facing gable with a foliated wooden surround, with carved wooden frieze boards beneath the wide overhanging gable eaves above.
