A typical example of a Foursquare with Colonial Revival detailing built in 1916 for Talbot Smith.    The high hipped roof with front dormer is crossed by a gable which forms slight two-story projections on both sides. Wide eaves are supported by sawn brackets; paired nine-over-one windows are shuttered.    A full-facade two-bay porch is supported by elephantine wooden posts on brick piers; a terrace wraps to the north side.
