This one-story, hip-roofed Ranch house is three bays wide and triple-pile. The house has a continuous brick foundation and veneer, an exterior brick chimney on the north elevation, replacement windows, and wide overhanging eaves with wood soffits. The entrance and the paired windows to its left are sheltered by an aluminum awning supported by wrought iron posts on a terra cotta-covered slab with metal railing. A second aluminum awning on the south elevation is supported by metal posts and shelters a six-light-over-three-panel door. The 1960 city directory lists the building as “under construction”: the earliest known occupant is Bettie L. Foster (teacher, Pearson School) in 1965.
