House (ca 1985):
A rambling and picturesque, splayed-U-plan, 11⁄2-story, poured-concrete-foundation, shingled Neo-Cape Cod house with 3 principal sections: main block to the east, service core at the center, and 2-stall garage to the west. The cross-gable-roof main section has the principal entrance in a shed-roof vestibule, pergola-sheltered courtyard between the main block and the service core, clustered 6-over-6 windows, and large chimney at the intersection of the ridgelines. The service core has a projecting gable end and a small chimney in the roof connecting it to the garage, with double-leaf vehicular entrances.

Like many of the better early 20th-century designs in this revivalist mode, this
suggests a building constructed in several phases, not as one campaign.
