Description and history
editThe 1+1⁄2-story, wood-framed house was built sometime in the 1870s, and is a particularly picturesque example of Second Empire styling. It has a mansard roof, with bracketed gable dormers framing round-arch windows, and an off-center entry topped by a 2-1/2 level tower. The cornices of the tower roof, the main roof, and that of a side rectangular bay are all decorated with brackets.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984.[1]
