Description and history
The 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, on a raised brick foundation, was built in 1832 in the Gulf Coast Cottage style. The 20th century saw additions to the rear that roughly tripled the original size of the house. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 18, 1984, as a part of the 19th Century Spring Hill Neighborhood Thematic Resource.[1][2]
