NOTES
Additional Information:This two-story Italianate house has a low-pitched hip roof with a cupola. The cupola has a hip roof, brackets, and round-arched openings. Under the wide eaves of the main roof is a paneled frieze with brackets. Windows are decorated with brick segmental arches. There is a bay window on the south wall. The entrance consists of two wood doors with oval lights topped with a transom. A plain wood surround decorates the entrance. Garage.

This house is architecturally significant as a fine example of the Italianate style. The square form, hip roof with cupola, bracketed eaves, and arched windows are all elements of the style. This house is particularly fine because of its overall high level of preservation, its size, and the extant cupola, a detail many like Italianate houses have lost.

At the present time this house is not historically significant. Further research into the original owner may uncover information that makes this house historically significant in the future.
