Structure Description
The composition of the Williams' entry facade barely departs from mainstream design: a central entry, three-part windows, and absolute symmetry in the placement of openings and the dormer were common components of pattern book houses around World War 1. The usual sun porch is enlarged into a "living porch" spanning the full width of the house, and it is surmounted by a broken "window ribbon" of casements.
