About
This home is a two-and-one-half-story Queen Anne with paired staggered front gables on the façade. Heavy brackets support deep eaves, and a pair of square windows rotated 90 degrees vertically; these are in the façade gables and the gable ends on the north elevation. They have glass panes inside a frame, surrounded by square shingles and a round wood trim border. Round shingles occupy the gables’ ends. A vertical ribbon course on the façade north of the entry has fish-scale shingles. The remainder of the house is clad in lap siding.
Heavy ornamentation includes corner boards, brackets, the use of dentils in several locations, and lap siding on the first and second floors.
