DescriptionA Greek revival house has a two-story portico of fluted Doric columns, an entablature with triglyphs, and a pediment. Tall windows have louvered shutters. There is a balcony over the front door, and there appears to be another balcony on a porch at the left. Evergreens are in planters or window boxes on the front porch. Drainpipes run down the wall at the right. A porte-cochere is beyond. An iron fence surrounds the house. Leafless trees are in the yard. There appears to be a trace of snow in the dirt street. A building with a weathervane in the left background may be a barn or carriage house.
