Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1936 Built in 1936 by C&O conductor W. T. Baugh and his wife, Mary E. Baugh, this two-story, two-bay, hipped-roof brick American Foursquare laid in common bond is raised on an exposed concrete foundation. It has a hipped-roof porch that stretches across the entire 1st floor of the west-facing facade and is supported by Tuscan columns and a simple entablature, is approached by four slate steps, and has a simple wooden balustrade. The entrance is located in the south bay and leads to the doorway, complete with sidelights and a flat arch. Both the north bay of the 1st floor and both of the bays of the 2nd floor feature pairs of one/one-sash windows with louvered shutters. A prominent hipped-roof dormer emerges out of the center of the asphalt shingle roof with a pair of three/one-sash windows. The roof is metal.
