A large rectangular beveled glass window accents the original stained and varnished front door. Plate glass windows, topped with diamond-paned transoms, are located on each side of the front porch. A slanted bay with matching plate glass window, diamond-paned transom, and double-hung windows is located on the Wellington Street (north) side. Double-hung windows are used throughout the rest of the house. A white picket fence surrounds the house. There are no apparent alterations to the house itself. Although the architecture and materials of this house are typical of a Colonial Revival home built about 1900-1906, it does not show up in this location until 1926 (there are no odd numbers at all before that time) when Mrs. Fannie Reeves, the widow of H.
