Description & Additional Information


Two-story frame cottage with fanciful neo-Queen Anne style. Irregular T-shaped footprint with multiple projections and complex roofline. Pier foundation behind diamond lattice skirting; wood board-and-batten siding; standing-seam metal roof. Front entrance is at the southwest corner, marked by porch steps and tower. One-story open porch wraps part of west and south sides, with prominent octagonal tower atop porch roof at corner, over corner entry steps. Porch has square posts and turned balusters. Two shallowly projecting two-story bays on west side, with cross-gable roofs, scalloped vergeboards, and finials; paired one-over-one windows at first and second floors of left (north) bay and second floor of right bay. South side has a wall dormer with two-story Palladian window, octagonal window, and steeply pitched gable roof with similar detailing to west bay projections; to the right of this is a projecting bay that steps farther out at first floor than second floor. Rear of house, facing north, has asymmetrical configuration of one-over-one windows, and gable-on-hip roofline with nested gable dormer projecting from main gable end and finial atop main roof. Multiple shapes and sizes of windows and complex projections create a distinctly modern interpretation of the Queen Anne style. Noncontributing due to age.
