Description & Additional Information


Frame cottage, two stories, two-bay facade, with rectangular footprint and front-gabled roof. Rubble stone foundation, partially concealed by horizontal board skirting; composite shingle siding; asphalt shingle roof. An original two-story, full-width open front porch, seen on historic maps, was fully enclosed after the period of significance with composite shingle siding, banks of double-hung windows at first floor, and one-light casement windows at second-floor front. Concrete block chimney at right (north) side. Entry porch and cellar entrance at left (south) side. Side windows include casement and one-over-one double-hung wood windows. Shed-roofed rear wing. Alterations to porch and windows occurred prior to 1980 survey. Noncontributing due to extensive alterations including nonhistoric siding, complete porch enclosure, removal of any historic trim, and installation of nonhistoric window types and sizes, all of which leave no exterior evidence of historic campground cottage character.
