From the National Register nomination

Built between 1935 and 1948, this two-story eclectic Tudor Revival single-family dwelling on a comer of Cherry and Fifteenth is of stretcher-bond brick with complex gable roof covered in slate-look asbestos shingles. Other features include an exterior end brick chimney, multi-pane steel casement windows, a principal entry incorporating a single-leaf paneled wood door set into a cast-stone arched opening, and a side porch with square brick posts and a turned-baluster wood screen. Facing Fifteenth Street is a coordinated semi-detached garage, now used for household storage, attached by a covered breezeway to the rear of the house. Defining the garden on one side of the house is a serpentine brick wall. One of a number of homes in the Forest Hills Addition designed by the Staunton architectural firm of T. J. Collins & Son (Calder Loth; Shaw, Ranzini and Wood, "Waynesboro Tree Streets Historic District").

Date based on Sanborn fire-insurance maps.
