Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The W.D. Johnston House is a two-story single-family residence constructed in the Georgian/Federal variant of the Colonial Revival architectural style. Symmetrical in design, the house is clad in red brick and consists of a three bay wide, two story block and a small, one story, one-bay extension set back on the west elevation. A medium-pitched, side-gabled roof with enclosed soffits in the modest overhangs and asphalt shingle cladding tops the main volume. In the central bay of the façade, (south elevation), a prominent entry portico consists of stylized Doric columns and pilasters that rise to molded frieze, flat roof with enclosed soffit, and X-patterned balustrade. The entry features a six-panel wood entry door framed by an elliptical fanlight and sidelights. Multi-paned casement windows with an elliptical fanlight flank the entry porch in the side bays of the lower story. Paired six-over-one, double-hung, wood windows in the side bays and multi-paned French doors in the central bay, all framed by shutters, characterize the second story fenestration. Similar double-hung wood windows also appear on the north, east, and west elevations, all featuring a “lamb tongue” detailing. Brick detailing at the openings includes soldier and header brick courses. A rebuilt brick chimney is centered at the west elevation, towards the side gable ridgeline. The property includes a one-story addition, brick clad and topped by a balustrade, on the west elevation that has taken on significance over time and is within the period of significance of the style. A driveway to the east of the property leads to a detached, one-story, side-gabled garage, built at the same time as the residence. The front setback is simply landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and a hedge-lined brick pathway that curves towards the junction of the driveway and sidewalk. Other than the noted changes, the house appears intact and is in good condition. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2. Single-Family Residence *P4.
