Description & Additional Information


Frame cottage, 1 ½ stories, with modified rectangular footprint and front-gabled roof. Foundation concealed by square lattice skirting; shingle siding; asphalt shingle roof. One-story front porch spans front of front-gabled section and wraps right (south) corner, with chamfered posts, square balusters, plain frieze band. Porch shelters single door, at right, three-part window, at left, consisting of a picture window flanked by one-over-one double-hung windows. Porch also shelters two picture windows and secondary entry door on south side. Gable with three-part window similar to first-floor front window. Two-story shed-roof addition at left (north) side, comparable in width to original cottage and nearly as tall, with garage at first floor and another three-part window at second floor. Side windows include three-part picture, casement, and one-over-one double-hung wood windows. Shed-roofed rear addition. This cottage was extensively altered before and since 1980; Eastlake trim removed and porches enclosed before 1980, side shed-roofed addition in the 1980s, picture windows in the 1990s, wraparound porch in the 2010s. Despite alterations, original front-gabled cottage form remains evident; recent changes are more in keeping with traditional Park architecture.
