A one-story frame vernacular residence featuring an H-shaped plan with two forward facing steeply pitched gables.  The roof is clad with five V crimp metal and foundation is concrete block piers.  A one-story rear addition projects from the east elevation centered between the gables.  Based on workmanship and materials, the addition appears to be circa 1930. The exterior fabric is a drop tongue and groove siding.  Fenestration is double-hung wood sash windows with two over two lights. Very few houses of this vintage and construction remain hence its architectural integrity is to an unusually high degree.  8CH1769 and 8CH1768.
