Physical Description

This two and one half story "L" shaped frame house was built in much the same style as other houses of that period. It has a metal deck roof with two chimneys, one on the east and one on the west ends. There are twelve windows with 18x20 panes and no shutters. A plain, one story porch is across the front of the house.

There are six large rooms with nine foot ceilings. There is a plain plastered cellar under the house. The doors are of the four-panel type with plain iron hinges and knobs. The walls are papered and painted and the floors are of wide boards.
