7. Narrative Description:
This property is located in the West Eleventh Street Historic District. Style/Year: pre-1889/1886

1986 double front portico.

fenestration, centered and paired entry doors, matching east and west end single-story three-sided
bays, broad two-story centered rear wing with side porches, and single-story additions behind it.
Raised stone foundation. There are matching three-sided bays (3’6”x8) on the side walls. Rear
addition might be garage, 14x24.
Alterations: aluminum siding, doors and windows replaced, concrete porch deck, metal posts on rear
side porches. Transoms removed. Permits note re-roofings in 1969, 1994 (rear), re-siding 1973, 1988
