Description & Additional Information


Frame cottage, one full story and partial second story, bungalow form, three-bay by three-bay, with rectangular footprint and side-gabled roof with steep pitch at center, lower pitch at front and rear. Full-width shed dormer at front. Foundation concealed by vertical board skirting; wood cove siding; asphalt shingle roof. One-story porch, full-width, beneath main porch roof, enclosed with square posts, flared solid-sided rail, banks of double-hung windows, plain frieze band. Shed dormer with two pairs of sliding windows at center, one-over-one window at either side. Deck set back at right (south) side. Side windows include sliding and one-over-one double-hung wood windows. Rear porch addition. Cove siding restored between 1980 and 1992.

History: The 1980 survey estimated a circa 1902 construction date for this cottage, but Sanborn maps from 1905, 1914, and 1924 all show the same footprint on this lot, which is quite different from that of the present cottage; this cottage was probably built shortly after the 1924 map.
