Ramsey, a section lineman for the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1933. It has a hipped roof and features a full basement due to the slope of the lot towards the rear. A front-gabled porch with a boxed cornice and return is placed off-center with the south bay of the east-facing facade, shading the doorway as well as creating a covered passageway along the south elevation of the house that leads to a modern deck and gazebo that are attached to the rear of the house. The north bay of the 1st floor has a set of three nine/one-sash windows with louvered shutters on each end of the trio, while both the upper bays feature single shuttered windows. The roof is covered in asphalt shingles and a concrete chimney is visible emerging from the southern side of the roof. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
