This well-preserved structure exemplifies typical Vermont multi-unit housing from the early 20th century, showcasing distinctive Colonial Revival features such as pressed-metal siding. The building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, is situated on a steeply sloping lot and features a unique facade with a false-front corniced parapet.
