Structure Description

Notice the "ranch house" windows, the scaled-down door surround, asymmetrical facade, and the main floor traffic flow. It was intended to have a roofline balustrade, which was mistakenly eliminated buring construction, and thus the house differs significantly from its original planned appearance. Two previous sets of wooden columns deteriorated; those on the house today are metal. The roof is slate.
