This understated foursquare is located in Kittrell, Vance County, North Carolina and was built between 1910-1920. It’s painted gray with a darker gray trim Three chimneys have an interior placement, 2 near the front and one at the rear. There are at least two gables, both pedimented, one on the side and one at the back (I was unable to view one side of the structure). A typical 4-square dormer dominates the roofline of the front façade, all windows showing a diamond pattern in the top pane. The second level at front has three windows, the middle for the upper hallway; this second floor window has rectangular vertical sidelights extending the length of the window. The first level entrance has a wraparound porch with plain railings and eight Tuscan (?) columns. At each extremity of the porch is a pilaster. The porch is wood with concrete (probably) steps. The single-leaf door has a decorated continuous transom and decorated sidelights extending 2/3 the length of the door with a panel below each sidelight. A side bay forms one end of the porch with its simple entrance with transom. The bay extends the full length of the house and is topped with a pedimented gable with a semi-circular window with keystone design. Windows throughout are 1/1 double-sash. The foundation is probably of concrete, possibly housing a basement. A wooden deck with lattice-work extends from one of the sides at the rear. The house is large, encompassing more than the standard 8 rooms of this style.
