Narrative Description: This lot is vacant as of 1891. This house is present by 1909. This is a fairly uncommon two-story side gable single-family residence with a rectangular footprint. There is a two-story rear wing, also uncommon. A brick chimney is on the ridgeline but set well inside of the north sidewall. A second taller brick chimney is located on the north roof plane of the rear wing, also placed away from the perimeter wall. The rearmost wing is a single-story gabel roof addition (by 1934). The shed roof porch, while present historically, was not present as of the 1970s and is of recent vintage as indicated by its form and its simple wood posts. The fenestration is symmetrical and full on the facade and the entrance is at the left-hand front corner. There is a three-sided south bay. The lower facade has been clad in ornamental stone. There are two garages, the most recent of which, has a connective link to the house to the south, and the other, which is on Elm Street to the back of the property. The new garage occupies the acquired portion of Lot 103, Sanborn Subdivision. The core plan measures 20 feet in width, 26 feet deep. The rear addition with side porch (two sections, ther rearmost is full-height to the addition, seven feet long, five feet wide, the original, to the east is nine feet long and six feet wide) measures 14 feet in width and 16 feet in depth and its north wall aligns with that of the original plan. The rearmost wing, also aligned on the north wall plane, is 15 feet long and eight feet wide. A near-full width front porch has been lost and there is a metal awning over the left-hand side front entry. The south bay is gone, but as of the 1970s measured seven feet in length and two-and-a-half feet in width. The early Assessor noted an eight feet by 12 feet shed (this appears on fire insurance maps along the north property line.
