This house seems to have begun as a standard five-bay house with central chimney. Raised at some point with an addition off one end, it was Victorianized by a bay window and a new bracketed entrance into its side elevation. Finally, a Queen Anne stoop was added where the original entrance had been, probably to split the house into two units, as it is today. This is the single extant record on the street of the nadir of interest in colonial architecture, when these houses seemed shabby antiques to be updated as well as one could. But even by the time of the stoop alteration, the Colonial Revival was getting underway.
