Story-and-a-half frame Craftsman bungalow remodeled in the Cape Cod Colonial Revival idiom, probably about 1950. The house has wood-shingle siding and a gable roof with gabled dormers. The roof engages a wraparound porch with classical wood columns on pandled wood pedestals with square-section balusters between. Other features include a brick interior flue, decorative rafter ends in the house, porch and dormer eaves, 20/1 windows, a one-story rear wing, and a two-tier " back porch with metal supports on the lower tier and a sleeping porch above.
Date based on Sanborn fire-insurance maps.
