This two-story 1906 residence of indeterminate architectural style has a hipped roof with boxed eaves and a<br />

broad porch that extends around the corner of the building, also with a hipped roof. Alongside the porch is<br />

a two-story bay with a hipped roof. Windows are double-hung wooden sash with a single light in each sash.<br />

The main building entrance features sidelights and a main entry door with matched art glass windows.<br />

Siding is stucco, and the porch is supported by rectangular stucco piers, non-original. The building appears<br />

to date from the period of significance, but at some point its siding was significantly altered, which makes<br />

the building’s original architectural style difficult to determine. According to Metrolist building records, the<br />

structure served as a boarding house with as many as twelve residents be<strong>for</strong>e being re-converted back into a<br />

single family house. During these conversions, significant integrity was lost, so the building is no longer a<br />

contributor to the district.<br />
