The central front entrance is framed by a rectangular transom and sidelights. The S. and E. sides (rear) of the house appear to have originally had a veranda on the main floor, which has been partially enclosed. Interior condition: good. Interior walls: plaster; floors: softwood 7 rooms. Exterior: Most of the windows have been broken out by vandals, and most of the shutters are gone. Interior: Appears at this time to be in sound condition and to have undergone only minor architectural alterations. Interior walls are wide horizontal pine boards in the rooms of the main (2nd) floor; ceilings and floors are also wood. Mantels, none of which have yet been removed by vandals, appear to be the originals. An interior brick wall in the ground floor basement has been removed.
