Significance: Compact integration of the forms and elements make this frame residence a fine representative of this period, the low hipped roof flares out over extensive, soffited overhangs, a hip-roofed dormer with a pair of windows occupies its front; in the second story, which is shingled, a single window is on the front's west side and a pair of windows on the east; below, where the sheathing is clapboard, a porch projects, supported by four thin Tuscan columns, the central two framing the porch steps and supporting a pediment in the low hipped-roof's front plane; two windows and a door are placed on the inner wall which gives way to an extension of the porch reaching half the way into the mass's depth; a polygonal bay appears on the opposite side; the building has very good integrity.
