Signficant Architectural Features:
Two-story weatherboarded house, irregular in plan. Hip roof with plain boxed cornice. Three brick chimneys can be seen from Carolina Avenue: one on gabled N. wing has no cap; the exterior & interior chimneys of the south end of the house have corbeled caps. Most of the windows are double-hung sash, 2/2, with louvered shutters. Front (west elevation): asymmetrical; on the first floor are two doors, between which is a multi-paned window; at the north end of the second floor is a French door with transom, which opens onto a small second story porch set into the roof of the first floor porch; to the south of the second story porch, which features Tuscan columns and balustrade with plain balusters, are two 2/2 windows with louvered shutters; in the center of the front slope of the roof is a gabled dormer which has a plain boxed cornice with returns, a double window (2 1/1 windows), and alternate square shingle siding. Across the facade and extending to the west sides of the N & S wings is a one-story porch with slender Tuscan columns and balustrade, which has plain balusters. North elevation: two-story wing has two 2/2 windows with louvered shutters on each floor on its north side, & pedimented gable roof (with rectangular louvered vent flanked by small windows in its gable end, which has alternate square shingle siding); the west side of the gabled wing has a French door and transom on the first floor, one 2/2 window with louvered shutters on the second floor; on the second floor of the west end of the north elevation is one 2/2 window with louvered shutters. South elevation: west end of the south side features an exterior chimney (mentioned before) between two windows on both the first and second floors; the east end of this elevation is characterized by a two-story gabled wing; a projection with low-pitched roof on the second story of this two-story wing probably is an addition; this side also features small basement windows. Rear: this house appears to have a back porch. OUTBUILDINGS:
