"Built in 1940, this Period Revival cottage is the district's lone example of a vernacular expression of the English Tudor style. As is common with this house type, the plan is rectangular with the short side facing the street. The characteristic asymmetrical massing of this type of cottage is created by employing a steeply pitched main gable running parallel with the street, which is intersected by a main and secondary entry gable on the main facade. This example is embellished with concentric brick arches at the main entry which step inward to a round-top door. These arches are carried into the interior of the house providing continuity of design. The composition also features a brick chimney on the east side with decorative corbelling, and a hip-roof bay window on the west side. The brick exterior is accented by multi-color brick panels which wrap the structure just above the raised concrete foundation. The original windows, most of which remain in place, consist of large wood frame picture windows and paired double hung assemblies."
