Description & Additional Information


Frame cottage, two stories, cruciform shape with cross-gable roof. Concrete pier foundation behind square lattice skirting; wood clapboard siding; asphalt shingle roof. Two-story, wraparound front porch with Tuscan columns, wood rail with square balusters, and plain frieze at first floor. Porch wraps both sides, terminating at front of shallow one-bay-wide by two-bay deep cross-gabled wings. Symmetrical facade with double doors flanked by tall windows at first floor, two doors flanked by windows at second-floor front. One-over-one windows and doors open onto deep porch wraparounds on north and south sides . South gable end has paired one-over-one wood windows; north gable end has a side door with one-one window to left, diamond-paned square window to right, and two one-over-one wood windows at second floor. North and south gable ends have double-hung windows with diamond-paned upper sash; front gable has fixed or casement diamond-paned window. One-story rear wing.

History: The previous cottage on this lot burned in the 1912 fire. Maps show two phases of evolution after the fire: the rear part of this cottage, behind the porch, appears on the 1914 Sanborn map; the porch and front-gabled section were completed sometime before the 1924 map.
