c. 1880-1890 - Vernacular Creole Cottage (Contributing)
One-story, frame, four-bay-wide (w-d-d-w) vernacular Creole Cottage with a side-gable roof. A full-width, inset porch supported by square wood columns extends across the four bays on the main façade. Single doors are located on the second and third bays. Windows are 6/6 wood double-hung-sash windows and 1/1 vinyl doublehung windows with faux muntins to replicate 6/6 windows. A side-gable, one-bay addition with diagonal comers and overhanging eaves was added on the right side between 1909 and 1917, and a rear addition was added after 1944 (per Sanbom Fire Insurance maps). The house rests on brick piers, is clad in clapboard, and has a corrugated metal roof.
