Description and history

The original section was built about 1820, and is a two-story, Late Federal style block with a one-story shed-roof porch. A Late Victorian addition, now regarded as the "front" of the house, is a two-story frame block with a one-story shed-roof porch on one side and a two-story porch on the opposite.[2]
