The basement was originally 3/4 excavated with a dirt floor. By 1955, it had a concrete floor. Sometime around 1975, the basement was completely excavated and a three-room apartment added. This apartment is accessed from a roofed-entrance on the south corner of the rear elevation under the kitchen deck. As noted above, the roof has wood shingles (1998). One original chimney stack remains on the north gable. The exterior portion of the south gable stack has been removed, (date unknown). The house sits on 0.15 acres of land. Vegetation consists mainly of lawn, shrubs, and a mature tree in the parking strip. A concrete driveway runs along the north edge of the property culminating in a concrete pad and a small patch of lawn behind the house. A two-car garage (built c.1990) sits on the northwest corner of the property and replaces the one-car garage which is shown on the 1950 Sanborn map. The Lewis A. Ramsey house is flanked by a couple of two-story brick homes probably built between 1905 and 1910. Other structures in the immediate neighborhood consist of contemporaneous housing stock mingled with 1970s and 1980s apartment complexes. There are also several medical office suites which service the nearby hospital. Because of these relatively recent changes in the neighborhood, the rehabilitation of the Ramsey house makes a significant contribution to the historic resources of the area.
