ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and
evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.)
This appears to be an early nineteenth century house. There are skived
clapboards, a doorway with fluted pilaster strips and crude pediment, and rear
chimney, one-room deep, five-bay wide plan.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Explain the role owners played in local or state
history and how the building relates to the development of the community.)
The origin of this house has not been determined, but judging from its
early nineteenth century character it is likely to have been moved from else-
where to Vine Brook Road when the street was laid out c. 1940.
