well executed arched porte cochere, small windows with
hearldic designs flanking the chimney, and wooden gabled

recessed porch, and hipped roof. The house has an H-shaped
central hall plan, but dissimilar facade treatment of
otherwise symmentrical pavillions is a concession to contemporary
taste for picturesque asymmetry.
