Description
This one-story Craftsman bungalow is true to the mid-twenties type. It is side gabled, with a front gable extending over a porch offset to the north end of the facade. A pair of posts support the front gable, which has a vent in its peak. The building is sheathed in clapboard and accented by rafters exposed in the eaves. Offset slightly to the south, the entry is flanked by broad, double-hung sash windows. No alterations, other than the possible replacement of a cobblestone foundation, were noted. It is in good condition. RESEARCH NOTES: In 1928 the first improvement was assessed on this property. The owners were George and Ethel Brown. Brown was a laborer in the citrus industry.
