Architectural descriptions draw on LPC’s 1968 designation report. Current condition, legal occupancy and alteration approvals require an address-specific review. These profiles are historical research, not listings.

What LPC recorded

The designation report described an individual frame house built in 1887, with two stories over a basement. Its account emphasizes timber details and clapboard above a brick basement, rather than assigning the house a named architectural style.

Read the details

That distinction matters: the guide follows the source instead of fitting every building into a stylistic label. Read the recorded material and form first.

Timber and masonry meet at the lower portion of a house of this type. A buyer’s inspection should investigate actual conditions at these transitions and wherever finishes may hide the underlying structure.

Questions to take to the showing

  • What evidence is available about concealed timber condition and past water entry?
  • Have repairs or replacements changed the exterior details described in the record?
  • Which specialists and exploratory work are appropriate before defining a renovation budget?

These questions are a research starting point, not findings of a defect or assurance about the property. For the full sequence—from lawful use to insurance—see the buyer’s guide.
