Structure Description

The house harmonizes features of traditional Colonial Revival designs borrowed from the Adam and Georgian styles, such as prominent dormers, wide sash windows, and a one-story, full width porch with grand Tuscan columns. All elements of the front facade are symmetrically balanced, drawing the viewer to the centered entry with its elegant sidelights and transom. A geometrical balustrade follows the porch roof and a set of three dormers highlight the roofline. Three additional roof dormers face to the fear. A typical Adam style cornice is emphasized with a band of offset details. An additional semi-enclosed porch projects from the west facade.
