Two-story frame Victorian house with novelty vinyl siding and an asphalt-shingled gable roof with a decorative front gable. The one-story front porch has turned posts and balusters, sawn brackets with turned pendants, and a sawn fringe. Other features include a brick foundation and interior flue in the ell, a front entry with transom, sidelights, and a molded surround, modern arched louvered vents in the gables, modern 2/2 windows, and a two-story ell with a brick and poured concrete foundation and an engaged two-tier side porch with chamfered wood posts and vasiform sawn balusters. A wood privacy fence extends along the side alley. Lovegrove was a carpenter who apparently built this house and the one next door at 600 Chestnut. H. G. Baylor lived here in 1935. Joseph Moyer
