Architectural Notes

THIS SUBSTANTIAL HOME, WITH ITS CORNER TOWER, PRESSED BRICK AND LIMESTONE EXTERIOR, AND IRREGULAR ROOFLINE HAS CHANGED LITTLE IN THE COURSE OF A CENTURY. THE LARGE NEOCLASSICAL FRONT PORCH FEATURES ROUNDED COLUMNS, FRIEZE AND A DECORATED CLOSED PEDIMENT. A SURGERY WAS ADDED TO THE REAR OF THE HOUSE IN 1905.
