Structure Description

This home was originally built in the Queen Anne style but redesigned decades later into the Tudor Revival style. It is a stone construction with exposed beams and brick chimneys. The stone porch to the north has four massive stone pillars and wide eaves wrapping to the west and extending to a porte-cochere with two large Egyptian pillars at either side of a stone staircase and two stone pillars with buttresses rising from the ground. The porch also features decorative iron grills set into the walls, a double door entrance with a divided transom, and a pair of French doors leading to the east end porch. A large gable with exposed timbering, a pair of casement windows, brackets along the cornice line, and a balcony faces the north along with a smaller gable with two double hung windows.
