Additional Description: From the National Register Nomination:  Distinctive features of this home include a partially enclosed wraparound porch on the front (north) and east sides, and pedimented dormers on the east and west slopes of the main roof. The wraparound porch is open on the front side of the house and along part of the east side, and its open portions are enclosed by distinctive wooden rail featuring diamond-pattern cross-bracing spanning a series of square-sided wooden posts supporting the porch roof. The three main gables (on the north, south, and west sides of the house) feature cornice returns, triple windows, and a projecting apex supported by a cross brace with exposed rafter tails. The wraparound porch is covered by a half-hipped roof. The porch incorporates Classical elements such as a decorative pediment above the main, north side entry, and tapered square-sided columns affixed to a Classical entablature cornice embellished with dentils. Another distinctive feature is a two-story canted bay window located on the east side of the house, the first-floor level of which is enclosed within the wraparound porch.
