From the National Register nomination
Story-and-a-half frame Craftsman bungalow with asbestos-shingle siding and an asphalt-shingled gable roof with large gabled dormers on the front and back. The engaged front porch has tapered paneled wood posts on brick pedestals with square-section balusters. Other features include a parged foundation, an exterior gable-end brick chimney, an interior brick flue, an engaged back porch and pantry, and 3/1 windows. The house is apparently a very late local example of the Craftsman style.
Date based on city building-license files.
