Significance: Fine example of a two-story frame clapboard structure of the period has pitched roof with slightly flared eaves and a pedimented gable containing two different textures of shingles and a pair of multilight attic windows, front of the second floor is shingled and has a pair of windows, their upper sash with diagonal lights, roof fragments slide down each side of that floor and join one another across the front before meeting the low-pitched roof over the projecting porch. The outer end of the porch's roof breaks to form a low pediment on each side face. Three thin columns support the porch lintel and are connected by widely spaced balusters. The porch (a 1930 reconstruction, using older pieces?) shelters a fixed-pane, transom window and an entrance next to a small, square multi-light window immediately above the porch's access stairs are located.

Historic Features: Gables with shingling and stick work, side gable roof extensions to the front porch, diamond panes upper window sashes; two story Gable-Ell on east elevation, chimney stack on west elevation.

Alterations: Porch balusters and railing may be replacements.
