This turn of the century (circa 1905) brick home is 2 1/2 stories. In the National Register of Historic Places nomination form for the historic district, the structure is classified as a Colonial Revival structure but with aspects of Queen Anne style. A pedimented dormer projects from the hipped slate roof. The front gable is unusually elaborate with a modillion cornice, shingling and an oval window with numerous small panes. The wraparound porch wit a turned balustrade is supported by Tuscan columns with Ionic capitals. The entrance bay is pedimented with an asymmetrical placement of the door. The house is only 1,614 square feet; the massing makes it appear much larger than it is. This former residence on 2nd Street in Roanoke, Virginia has been converted to some commercial uses. It is a contributing structure in the Southwest Historic District which was added to the National Register June 19, 1985 with reference #85001349.
