From the National Register nomination
Located on a corner of Cherry and Fifteenth, this two-story Georgian Revival single-family dwelling is of masonry construction with stretcher-bond brickwork. The house has 8/8 double-hung sash with paneled shutters throughout, is covered by a hipped roof with slate-logk asbestos shingles, and incorporates two exterior end brick chimneys. The principal entry has a single-leaf paneled wood door set into a swan's-neck pedimented surround. The exterior includes other classical detailing such as an elaborate molded cornice with modillions and jack arches with keystones over the first-story windows. An original hipped-roof brick-faced garage facing onto Fifteenth Street is attached to the house by a short gabled hyphen/breezeway.
Date based on Sanborn fire-insurance maps.
