About

It is a Late Victorian-style two-story building, symmetrical, with projecting covered porches on the southeast and southwest corners. It displays narrow-turned posts and spindles. Lap siding covers the two floors with curved shingles in a wave pattern in the gables. Decorative bargeboard underlines the gables. Double-hung sash windows are evenly placed on the building.

This is an early duplex. Originally, this building contained only two residences that were soon divided into four – a consequence of the rising demand for housing sparked by the gold mining boom.
