42. Further Description of Important Features (Continue on reverse if necessary)

A broken pediment, painted in black, accents the main entrance at

the northeast corner of the house. The front features clusters

of two different size openings for windows. The shed dormer abov

appears as an afterthought and may be an addition. The house has

an interesting roofline which seems to be deliberately raised at

the ends to give the appearance of a sagging ridgeline for pict-

43. History and Significance

This is said to have once been a barn which was moved onto the foundations of an older

house which stood on this site but burned down around 1930. If so, the barn would have

to have been completely changed to have been made into a house.

44. Description of Environment and Outbuildings

Tie house stands well back from the road on a shaded and landscaped front lawn. The

_..oarage is a newer structure which is attached to the house in a rather unpleasant way,

projecting out in front of the house, with its roofline colliding with the side wall.
