About

This is a one-and-a-half Late Victorian gable end house with eave returns. Wings on both the north and south sides extend only slightly from the body of the house and are capped with gable ends. The south elevation displays a one-story bay window; the upper pane is ornamented with muntins. Husung built his shop at the rear of the property, which has since been removed for apartments.
