| One-and-one-half-story bayed cottage with a combination of Queen Anne and Craftsman stylistic influences. The house weatherboard sided and rests on a brick pier foundation with infill stuccoed masonry. The asphalt-shingled roof is side-gabled with overhanging eaves and brackets. Side gable ends feature decorative wood shingles and four, 4(vertical):1 double-hung wood sash windows. A lower front-gabled bay projects from the facade and features decorative wood shingle-work in the gable end and a plain cornice. A dormer with shed roof and a set of 5, 4(vertical)-light fixed wood windows is centered on the front (west) roof slope. A similar dormer is on the rear roof slope. A full-width shed wing is along the rear and appears to be historic. The north corner of this wing is an enclosed porch. A stuccoed chimney straddles the roof ridge. Small, one-story bays with shed roof project slightly from the side elevations. The facade is three bays (3W, D, 3) with a single-leaf glazed and paneled door flanked by sidelights with decorative paneled apron. Windows are 2(vertical):2(vertical) double-hung wood sash. A partial-width entry porch with shed roof is inset in the front ell. Its roof is supported by tapered, wood paneled boxed posts on brick piers. |

| Sanborn Maps suggest that the house began as a Queen Anne cottage that evolved by 1938 into a Bungaloid structure. |
