Excerpt from historic district registration form:

Residence/Office, pre-1884 (Stillwater Realty Company, #249): This
is a two story red brick house and office in the Italianate sryle with a
hipped roof of asphalt shingle and a brick foundation. It has an
asymmetrical front facade with paired segmented arched window openings
on the second story and added shutters. The eaves have Italianate
paired wood brackets. The rear has a two story brick appendage. The
front entry has been altered with flanking pilasters and a wooden
dentilled arch over the front door since 1956 when the wooden one story
flat roofed front port was removed. There is some glass block infill in
openings on the east side.
