Description

Set back from Eleventh Street on an elevated lot north of the intersection with Silverwood, this is a one-story residence in the Queen Anne style. Although the address is on Silverwood the house faces south and is partly obscured from view. A hipped and gabled roof with boxed cornices caps the clapboarded structure. Gable ends are faced with fishscale shingles, outlined by bargeboards with flared ends, and contain arched vents in raised panels at their peaks. Sawn brackets in an open fan pattern and pendents mark the corners where the south facing gable overhangs a three-sided bay. A porch, set back on the east side of the bay, appears to have been enclosed. Windows are tall and narrow double-hung sash with corbeled sills. The house sits on a rubble foundation. A brick chimney rises up the west elevation. The lot is bordered by a cobblestone wall. In good condition, the house, while altered, retains most of its Queen Anne characteristics.

The origins of this Queen Anne cottage are unknown. Based on style, it is estimated to date from circa 1895. The oldest house in the vicinity, it is notable for its age and for its representation of the Queen Anne style. The treatment of the gables and the brackets below them are especially evocative of this architectural idiom.
