From the National Register nomination
Located on the corner of Port Republic Road and Smith Street, this is a two-story single family dwelling of vinyl-sided frame construction on a poured-concrete foundation, with an asphalt-shingled hipped roof, an exterior end brick chimney, and a brick flue. Other features include a single-leaf entry door paneled with wood and glass, 1 /1 double-hung vinyl sash, and a one-story, two-bay front porch with metal supports. A one-story rear porch has been enclosed. A poured-concrete retaining wall on the lot near the back of the house helps create a level backyard terrace. A Mrs. Reed is the earliest known owner and possible builder of this house. It was occupied by Squire Armstrong in 1935.
