the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. This is a two story Colonial Revival style home with a truncated hip roof. The home has a two-and-a-half
story entry pavilion at its center with a gabled roof and Palladian style window with drip edge lintel at the half-story level. A hipped roof front porch extends across the full width
of the front façade. The porch has a solid frieze, spindle balustrade, and Tuscan columns that rest on brick bases and are in pairs or triples. The tri-part front entry door has leaded
sidelights and a glass and panel door. Windows on the house are six over one sash and have flat stock surrounds with drip mold lintels. A tri-part window on the northern elevation marks
the location of the stairway. The house is clapboard sided and it has a wide frieze beneath the overhanging roof eaves. The home has a brick exterior chimney on its southern end. There
was originally a second brick interior chimney on the northern slope of the roof, but this was removed at some point after the home was first inventoried in 1980. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
