Description: This is an asymmetrical, two-story wood frame structure
with cement siding and a rock face concrete foundation. The roofline is cross-gabled, with the front
gable dominant. The peak, which contains
a tall narrow window rounded at the top, extends slightly outward over dentil
and decorative brackets. Between the
first and second floors a pent roof flares out slightly over simple brackets. The porch, off center to the right, has a low
pitch front gabled roofline and decorative scrollwork in the peak. On both north and south sides of the house
are located cross gables, enclosed by a pent roof over simple brackets, and
half circle windows in the peaks. A
hexagonal tower faces the intersection of Eighth and Union streets, under which
is a cutaway bay on the first story. A
small, attached garage is on the northwest side.
