PAIRED BRACKETS CONTINUE ALL AROUND THE HOUSE AT THE EAVE LINE. A TWO-STORY, THREE SIDED BAY APPEARS AT THE SIDE ELEVATION. DENTIL TRIM AND PAIRED BRACKETS EMBELLISH THE CORNICE ON BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND STORIES OF THIS BAY. THE FRONT PORCH, WITH ITS DENTIL TRIMMED AND BRACKETED CORNICE, PROJECTS FORWARD ON THE FACADE. SLENDER BRACKETED POSTS AND LATTICE DESIGNED RAILINGS FURTHER DISTINGUISH THIS PORCH. LOCATED AT THE EAST END, AND OBSCURED BY FOLIAGE IS A MANSARD ROOF WITH A GABLED DORMER WINDOW. THIS RESIDENCE IS IN GOOD CONDITION. MARTIN AND ELIZABETH NECOLLINS WERE INDIVIDUALS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS HOUSE FROM 1874 TO 1890. (SEE BIB. REF. A, D).
