The front gable with a spandrel wall caps a two-story, three-sided bay at the southwest corner. Decorative shingling ornaments the gable field as well as the band that separates the first and second stories of the three-sided bay, adding visual interest to the façade. There is a one-story porch with front gable roof that wraps around to the southeastern elevation of the home. The porch has turned posts, spindle frieze, and a balustrade of turned balusters. The porch’s pedimented gable also features the same decorative shingling. Off the northeastern elevation of the home is a two-and-a-half story ell. On the northwest corner of the rear ell is a one-story porch with matching turned posts, balustrade and spindle frieze. The home has a brick chimney on the main block of the house and there is also a chimney near the ridgeline of the rear ell. All of the windows have been replaced and their original surrounds covered by vinyl. Window sash is now one over one. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Discuss the history of the building.
