DescriptionPlans for a three story eclectic Tudor with stucco cladding and rough-cut stone accents. It has a steeply pitched side-gabled slate roof with overlapping cross-gables. A roof-top cuppola with rooster windvane is situated above the garage. Most windows on the first and second level are multi-light casements with copper flashing. Such windows have muntins seperating panes to create either a diamond or hexagonal shape. Basement windos appear to be either awnings or fixed. There is a bay window located on the second floor facade. Each of its windows are casement style, meant to swing outward. Glazing for each window is in a diamond decorative pattern. The second floor also features a long casement-style arched window. Windows located on the third floor are 6/6 double-hung shuttered sashes. Irregular shaped bath stone surrounds the front entry for a quoin-like effect. The door is six paneled with strap hinges and has a fan shaped iron grille under the arch.
