Significance: Typical of the vernacular structures built in Evanston in the 1880's and 1890's, this two-and-a-half story frame house is distinguished for the quality and design consistency of its detailing.

Historic Features: Decorative porch, shingled gable (may not be original) structure's front gable has a inset bargeboard that is supported at the corners by brackets and ornamented with circular wood moldings; paired second- and third-story window lintels with ornamental details similar to those found on the bargeboard; front porch extending across the front of the house with turned posts and spindlework; doorway behind flanked by sidelights and topped by a low-relief classical cornice; adjacent is a three-part window topped by stained glass transoms.

Alterations: Siding, deck addition at side, third-floor dormer and stairway were added to the side of the house in 1952.
