The house is <br />wood -frame residence, supported by a low concrete foundation, with white asbestos <br />shingle siding exterior walls. The house is covered by a moderately - pitched side gable <br />roof, with asphalt shingles and boxed eaves. An early saltbox addition extends the <br />building to the west. Windows are 1/1 and 2/2 double -hung sash, with painted white <br />wood frames and surrounds. The windows also have aluminum storm /screen sash. A <br />porch extends the full length of the fa9ade. Painted white turned columns, with scrolled <br />brackets, support the porch roof <br />A wood frame garage is located on the alley to the west of the house. The garage is <br />clad in horizontal masonite siding and a low pitched gable roof. The garage was built in <br />1966 by John Coet, Jefferson Place resident. <br />The structure has maintained a high level of integrity. Between 1948 and the 1960s, the <br />original wood siding was replaced with asbestos shingle siding. The chimney was <br />removed after the 1970s photo of the house. Board and batten shutters have been <br />added to the north side since 2013. <br />5 <br />
