Structure Description

This two and a half story Queen Anne structure contains brick on the first floor and wood shingles on the upper floors. The roof is gabled with an open gable with a recessed arch at the east end and a curved roof at the west end. A brick chimney rises from the upper east side of the roof. The east elevation of the second floor is a large shingled dormer which is blind arched with double brackets above a double window. Also on the east elevation is a second floor circular trefoil window. Above the enclosed front porch, which is rounded on the west end, is an octagonal dormer with a pitched roof and trefoil windows. The west elevation includes a second floor shingled, recessed arch above a group of four windows - one lancet window with pointed arched header and a decorative balconet underneath, one circular trefoil window, one rectangular window with four lights, and a set of three short, narrow vertical panes with a single wood sill, with a small square pane above each window. The south elevation includes two partial gables on the roof line (one with a chimney through it), a one-story covered porch with a hipped roof, and a second story bay with three windows. Caps, quoins, and the weater table are limestone.
