002-1260-0014 Other DHR-ID: Primary Resource Information: Single Dwelling, Stories 2.50, Style: Gothic Revival, post 1871 July 2009: Converted into an apartment building in the 1950s, the largest residence in the District has maintained much of its original appearance. The frame building with weatherboard siding is raised on a solid brick foundation that has been covered with stucco and scored to look like ashlar masonry. The original hipped-roof block is rectangular shaped and a two-story, tower-like addition with a mansard roof was built on the southeast elevation. A front-gabled block was added on the opposite elevation. Two-and-a-half stories in height, the main block is three bays wide with a central entry and 8/8 double-hung windows on the first story and 6/6 double-hung windows on the second story. Sheltering the front entrance and western bay of the main block is a half-hipped roof porch supported with paneled posts and pilasters and square spindles in the balustrade. The porch terminates against the projecting, western gabled addition. This block is capped with a hipped tin roof and features a center cross gable on the facade and two interior brick corbeled chimneys. The gable contains a pair of 1/1 wood pointed-arch windows and a diamond-shaped louvered window in between. The front-gabled addition projects from the west elevation and is one bay wide with 2/2 windows with boxed cornices and returns. The tower-like addition on the northwest elevation has a mansard roof, is also one bay wide.
