Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) Located on the northwest comer of South Birch and West Pine Streets, this is a one story Craftsman bungalow. A complex, cross-gable roof of extremely low pitch keynotes the strongly horizontal design. Exposed beams in the overhanging eaves are rounded at the ends, suggesting an Asian influence. However, the gable ends are decoratively jig sawn in the manner of Swiss chalet. Clapboard arranged in alternating bands of three narrow and one medium height sides the building. An L- shaped porch wraps the primary (east) elevation on Birch Street and most of the south elevation. The poroh space is enclosed by a solid brick railing that dips into concave arches between two-tiered, paneled pedestals. Projecting courses of brick coping emphasize the horizontal line of the railing. Single and double wood posts sit atop the pedestals and carry a porch beam that is separated from the gable ends by a row of vertical spacers. Portions of the porch on both the facade and south elevation are covered by pergolas whose beams are rounded in the same manner as those of the roof. A broadly (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) *P3b.
