Dec. 2005 Survey: Built circa 1935, this one-story, four-bay, log cabin dwelling has an

intersecting gable roof with asphalt shingles and a large central bay projecting from the facade. There is a large exterior stone chimney, with chimney pots, along the façade, and a stuccoed exterior brick chimney on the southern elevation. On the front chimney is an engraved "F," which was the first letter of the original owner's last name: Fishel. This dwelling originally belonged to 509 East Church Street, until it became its own parcel. The two windows flanking the chimney are fixed-paned with four vertical lights. The other windows are paired double-hung sash with 8/8-lights. The integral, one-bay porch has a stone column. The door, which is located on the side of the project bay, faces north and is not visible. This structure is supported by a solid concrete foundation.
