A first story hipped roof porch is on <br />the west face with concrete steps and decking. Windows are 1/1 double hung, some wood and some aluminum storms. The <br />chimney is centrally mounted. <br />ALTERATIONS: The irregular sized dormers appear to indicate some later modification to the roofline of the house.
