Architectural Comment
|
It is a typical Cape Breton farmhouse that has remained largely unchanged since it was built. It has a dormer over the ell and an enclosed porch which was added at a later date. It has two brick inset chimneys.

Contextual Comment
|
This house's frontal dormer, side gable, and front ell make its stylistic appearance vernacular. It sits across from the Grants’ store, and has been the residence of the Grant family for decades.
