7. Narrative Description:
This frame two-story gable front duplex has apparently converted to single family use and a single
address for some time. The core plan measures 28 feet in width and the same in depth, so it is a true
square. The front porch is 26 feet long and six feet deep. A single-story rear centered wing has a
gable roof and measures 20 feet in width and 12 feet in depth. Matching side porches (same length,
four feet wide) flank the wing. Assessor records note a 10 feet by 16 feet shed.
The house has been resided and appears to have lost all but its upper front corner windows. There is
a centered attic front light. The former duplex entrances are on the outside of the plan which is of
interest and there is one remaining window on the south half of the façade. Side wall fenestration is
either minimal or has been covered over. There is at least one downstairs window on the north wall,
and one on each floor on the south wall.
