About
This is an imposing two-and-a-half-story frame house with a full-width, first-story porch with low railings. A sleeping porch was added to the northwest corner. The body is covered with lap siding. The boxed gables are faced with octagon-cut wood shingles alternating with round shingles. The same pattern forms a belt course between the first and second story and at the base of the first story.

By 1898, he and his wife Catherine were referenced as participating in various fashion events, such as charity balls. They lived here for several years.
