Both structures’ exterior walls are clad in brick and stucco suggesting adobe. wood clapboard sides the gable ends. A partial-width open porch tucked beneath the gable roof is characterized by stout, brick piers, banded at top by decorative tiles, that define three bays. Centrally located within the porch, the front entry consists of a single half-glazed, wood front door with a single side light. The living room north of the entry is illuminated by a large metal-framed, multi-light picture window, consisting of a large central pane flanked by a pair of casement windows. Two double, metal-framed, multi- light casement windows are located further north of the living room in the projecting end bay of the façade and overlooking the south bay of the porch.. Along the north, south, and east elevations, the building incorporates a series metal-framed, multi-light casement windows, many similarly capped. A non-original decorative brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. Alterations to the house include an addition to the rear of the property. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house appears intact and is in good condition. The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and a long driveway leading towards the rear detached garage. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.
