gable over the partial-width porch. Roof rafters are exposed and decorative beams with braces project from<br />

the gable ends. Siding is horizontal aluminum siding with vertical aluminum siding beneath the gable ends.<br />

At the peak of the front gable and porch gable are triangular vents with vertical stickwork. The porch is<br />

located beneath the main roof of the porch and has a single rectangular wooden porch post above a terrace<br />

wall. Stairs are concrete with a metal handrail. The front window is a large single pane with wooden sash.<br />

of moderate pitch. The rafters on the end gable are notably wider than the other rafters, which are exposed.<br />

beneath the main roof, and is supported by rectangular wooden pillars with false bevel drop siding. A<br />

wooden balustrade with diagonal members runs between the pillars, above a wooden porch floor. The<br />

entrance to the porch is oriented to a driveway to the east side of the building, and a small garage with shed<br />

roof is attached to the east side of the building at the end of the driveway. Windows are double-hung<br />

wooden sash with a single pane in each sash. The main entry door is paneled with two rectangular<br />
