Additional Comments

THIS TWO STORY, FRAME RESIDENCE FEATURES A TRUNCATED HIP ROOF WHICH IS INTERSECTED BY A GABLE ROOFED RECTANGULAR BAY AT THE FRONT AND A GABLE ROOFED THREE-SIDED BAY TO THE EAST. A PALLADIAN STYLE WINDOW IN THE GABLE END, A STONE BASEMENT, AN ENCLOSED FRONT PORCH AND A SMALL SIDE PORCH ARE INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN OF STRUCTURE. DECORATIVE SHINGLES ON THE GABLE END AND THE SECOND FLOOR LEVEL ACCENT THE LARGE QUEEN ANNE STYLE DWELLING. THIS HOUSE WAS BUILT BETWEEN 1875 AND 1895. 2023: This 2-story Queen Anne House was constructed c.1890. It features a gabled ell plan with a stone foundation, vinyl siding, and an asphalt-shingled gable roof with overhanging eaves and modest eave returns. The front elevation faces west and is asymmetrical in composition with a 2-story, pyramidal-roofed tower located in the ell created by the front-facing gabled mass and the set-back side-gabled mass (the side-gabled mass extends only slightly past the tower mass). The tower features decorative diamond-paned windows at the second story of both exterior walls. The front entrance is located in the base of the tower within a small, hipped-roof entry porch that stands in the ell created by the front-gabled mass and the tower base. The porch features a turned wood support and a newer railing along one side. A large 1-over-1 window is located in the front wall of the front-gabled mass at the first story. Above this at the second story is a pair of 1-over-1 windows. A simple gable ornament is located in the front gable.
