From the National Register nomination
Two-story stuccoed frame Victorian house with a Tudor Revival remodeling from the 1920s. The house has an asphalt-shingled gable roof with a two-story gabled front wing. The one-story front porch has stuccoed Doric columns. Other features include an interior brick flue, false half-timbering in the second-story front, unusual 1/1 windows singly and in pairs with decorative upper sash, a one-story rear wing, and a one-story back porch with jalousie windows. Contractor Harry Brooks owned this house in the 1930s; it was probably Brooks who did the remodeling. The Bell-Jones House at 765 Pine has a similar Tudor Revival remodeling.
