Show Architect/Builder: Building Materials: Building Type/Style: Description of physical appearance & significant architectural features: The home is a good example of the bungaloid style, being a modification of the classic Western Stick style "bungalow". It is a large one story brick structure, with a broad low pitched roof. A large porch covered by the typical bungalow gable is the prominent feature of the front facade. The home is on a well manicured lot which adds more beauty to the well preserved home. The only addition is a double car garage which is not connected to the house and is in the back yard.
