This contributing, 2-story, wood frame residence was constructed in 1887 and features a gable-front design with cross-gabled, rear wing with polygonal bay window. The house has received modification in the form of roof re-sheathing, window replacements and siding. The original 1-story, wrap-around porch with turned wood columns and decorative bracing is intact.
