Additional Comments
Constructed of brick, this essentially one story cube house is topped with a truncated hipped roof. A modestly pitched, hipped roof extends across the primary (north) façade. Porch supports are simple wooden columns; the original wooden balustrade remains only at the west and east ends of the porch. A single door is located at the center, while a single one-over-one light sash is located to either side of the entrance. Windows throughout the house appear to be one-over-one light sashes, all of which are topped with a slightly pedimented head and underscored by a simple lug sill. A wide cornice (covered with aluminum) encircles the home beneath the roofline. The house is built into the hill and features a lower level, as well as a two story, vinyl sided, hipped roof addition to the rear. The building was converted into a duplex in the 1980s. 2025; This two-story cube-style residence was constructed circa 1880. The square footprint is built on a sloped lot, with a brick exterior, frieze board, and a truncated hip roof sheathed in asphalt shingles. A brick chimney stack pierces the roofline towards the rear. Due to its sloped construction, the property is accessible from both the ground level and first floor. The primary entrance on the first-floor fronts East Huron Street. The principal façade is symmetrically organized around a wood frame entrance, topped with a gently sloping pediment, and flanked by one-over-one replacement sashes. The main entry is shaded underneath the near full-width hip roof, supported by replacement squared wood post and a simple wood railing. Windows are primarily single one-over-one sashes accented with pedimented lintels. A one-story addition is at the rear.
