Description & Additional Information


Frame cottage, nearly two full stories, with rectangular footprint and front-gabled roof. Foundation concealed by horizontal board skirting; cove siding; corrugated metal roof. Two-story full-width front porch. First-floor porch extends one bay to the right (south) side and extends along right side, with turned posts, horizontal board rail, plain frieze band, screened in; scalloped trim at front. Second-floor porch spans front-gabled section only; enclosed with vertical board siding, banks of sliding windows, and wide mullions; scalloped frieze band. Closed gable with cove siding, exposed rafter tails. First-floor porch shelters two french doors, at center; single door at right side. Side windows include one-over-one double-hung wood windows and sliding windows. Shed-roof addition and deck, at rear.

History: This cottage is consistent in scale and massing with nineteenth-century campground cottages, but did not appear on this lot on the 1924 Sanborn map, suggesting a possible later move to this lot.
