This house lies just outside the Fairview Borough boundary line. It was built in 1856 and remodeled in the 1870s. The structure is constructed of brick and id a good example of the evolution of Victorian architectural styles. As originally erected it was two stories high bu the later addition of the mansard roof permitted the inclusion of a third floor. It is one of the very few buildings in the area incorporating features of the Second empire school. Of particular note are the steeply sloping sides of the mansard roof rising to a flat deck. That deck is enclosed by a decorative wrought iron railing. The same railing also appears below the dormers. The whole affect is to draw one's attention upward to the houses complex massing and expansive height.
