Appraisal
This vernacular house retains much of its original form and traditional features such as the irregular fenestration rhythm and windbreak. The extension to the west is visible through the dip in the roofline and the pitched west gable. The house is traditionally aligned on an east-west axis to maximize on light and sunshine.
