Architectural Comment
|
This one and one half storey house was built in the Gothic Revival style. The floor joists and wall uprights are hand-hewed (black spruce), white washed and birch bark between cracks in boards. Small area of the living room has hardwood floor. There have been different porches over the years. The house was lifted in 1978 for the purpose of adding a basement. Extensive renovations have included new chimney, roof, windows deck and siding.
