History and architectural features

The five-bay symmetrical front facade features a pedimented portico with Tuscan order columns. The house also has open porches, which previously featured decorative wrought iron railings, balustrades, and cornices.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 [1] and was rehabilitated in 1997 when the surrounding property was developed.
