Cornwall Lodge, the J. Raymond and Anna Fritz House (1940-41):

A stucco-and-half-timber 11⁄2-story H-plan, cross-gable-and-hip-roof house with a fully exposed basement level on the north elevation, principal entrance with diamond-pane leaded sidelights centered on the east elevation and flanked by shallow semi-octagonal-plan bay windows, windows varied picturesquely in placement, size, and type, and two prominent chimneys, 1 south of center on the east slope above the façade and 1 west of the ridgeline near the north end of the main block. A 11⁄2-story, T-plan, cross-gable-roof cottage with a fully exposed basement level on the west elevation stands northwest of the main house.

A contemporary octagonal gazebo is located to the southwest of the main house. Dramatically sited atop a steep knoll at the intersection of Ocean and Hazard Avenues, this is simply yet picturesquely landscaped.

Mr Fritz was a teacher at the Mumford School when they built this house. (3 contributing elements: 2 buildings, 1 site; 1 non-contributing structure)
