”115 Mountain View Avenue, Prairie Bungalow, Ca. 1910
A two story board and batten Prairie Style Bungalow with a low pitched roof, exposed rafters, and knee brace brackets. The shape of the entrance porch echoes that of the main house. This is another example of the spillover of summer cottages from Seabright.
[Architectural Significance as an Example of its Style:] Good”
