The roof is hipped, with green asphalt shingles and boxed eaves. A crumbling red brick chimney is located at the west end of the north elevation.

A wood - paneled door, with an aluminum storm door, opens onto a concrete porch and sidewalk on the west elevation. A small one -room Miner's Cabin is located at the north end of the west elevation. This is a 6' by 8' wood frame building, covered by a gable roof with grey asphalt shingles. The exterior walls are square -cut wood shingles. 29.Construction History (include description and dates of major additions, alterations, or demolitions: Information regarding this building's construction history is confusing. Donald Fleming, who lives in a residence just to the southwest of this property, stated that this house was moved here from Erie in about 1957. A 1948 appraisal photo, however, appears to show that the same house (or perhaps a very similar one) was here at that time. Sanborn insurance maps, dated 1893, 1900, and 1908, depict a smaller dwelling on this lot, situated in a different position on the property. Boulder County Assessor records suggest that the building was renovated in 1975. 23.
