What is it about?

From the National Register nomination

104-5144-0057 Single Dwelling, Stories 1.00, Style: Other, 1952 C&O Railroad engineer Wendell Robert Ross built this house in 1952, just a year before its very similar neighbor to the south was constructed. The one-story, three-bay, side-gabled brick rancher is laid in common bond and has paired one/one-sash windows in both the north and south bays of the west-facing facade. The central entranceway has a small, gabled porch with simple slender supports and balustrade. An attached brick chimney marks the north elevation and the gabled roof is covered in asphalt shingles. A one-story brick and frame addition to the rear of the house is flush with the side elevations.
