Structure Description
Of brick construction with molded corners, a stone foundation, and a hip roof of pressed tin. The cornice is carved with a projecting band of bricks above and below the basketball frieze that extends around much of the house. The south facade of the house is spanned by a front porch with turned spindlework. Both the pediment and left side triangular corner of the porch are carved in a sunburst pattern. The double door entry is set to the left side and has a transom window. The two first floor windows also have transom windows. These windows and the entry have flat segmented brick arch lintels. The second story windows are paired one-over-one sashes with a stone still. A basketweave pattern of bricks on the frieze serves as the lintel for all the second story windows. In the center of the second story facade is a panel of decorate molded brick. Identical, multi-paned hip roof dormers mark this side and the west side of the house.
