Additional Comments This two and one half story Queen Anne house features an irregular shaped plan configuration, a granite stone and concrete block foundation, a clapboard and wood shingled exterior, a wood tirm and an asphalt shingled hip roof with dormers. These dormers are gabled and intersect with one another in the attic story. A corner turret rises two stories and is capped by a conical roof. Projecting forward on the facade is a shed roofed porch, detailed with tapering, squared posts and iron railings. The residence is in fair condition. Architectural/Engineering Significance: This structure contributes to the significance of the Nathan Strong Park Historic District under cirterion C as a modest example of a plain late Queen Anne house. This simple little village house was no doubt much more interesting before the front porch was rebuilt to the present modern design, but it must have always been quite ordinary when compared with its spectacular neighbors on this grand street of fine houses.
