Exterior	This small, gambrel roof house is being completely remodeled. Some of its old features have been retained, but many were lost in the process. The chimney, not original brick, has the odd feature of breaking through the roof off center and to the east end of the house. It is also well in the front of the ridge board. There are 3 fine arched roofed dormers at the front. Its cornice, mostly original, is very simple. The window and door casements are all new work of a reproduced Colonial design which seems not to be a copy of the original features of this house. The house seems still to retain an antiquated appearance despite its remodeling.
