Description & Additional Information


Frame cottage, two stories, with cruciform or T footprint and cross-gabled roof. Pier foundation; square lattice skirting; wood clapboard siding. Two-story front porch, wider at first floor than second, with corner blocks supporting grouped beveled square posts at first floor, turned posts with pronounced entasis at second floor, turned balusters at both floors. Both porches are screened. Whimsical gable decoration with finely detailed sawn and pierced decorative elements. Porch screens and hanging shades make it impossible to see all openings; double doors are visible, but other front doors and windows are not. Visible windows not concealed by screens include two-over-two wood sash. Cross-gable east and west wings behind wraparound porch.
