The original address for this building was 355 S Hartz Avenue before the street names and addresses were changed by the Town in the 1980's. The structure was built in the late 1900's and has the typical features of a Neo-classical Row House, with symmetrical windows, center door, and gabled roof, however it has no columned porch, which would have been typical for the period. It is believed that the original home has a porch, but at some point it was removed. The building is no longer a residence, but a commercial property.
