| Additional Information: | A coursed random width stone and rubble, symmetrically designed strcuture that has a brick front and a flat sloping roof. Flat stone lintels over the windows and two doors and stone window sills, together with a row of denticulated brick used as a cornice decorate the plain, flat facade. The 19th century six over six lights are still present in the upper windows. Although the structure is important as a very early stone residence, the lack of maintenance and resulting destruction of the interior has minimized its significance to the commercial district. |
