Description
General Description
This rectangular wood-frame building is one of a pair of outbuildings (see Building 4A) constructed as carriage houses for the adjacent twin dwellings (Buildings 4 and 5). Slightly larger (length) than its companion to the north, this building is set on a concrete and brick foundation that is now parged. It has a front-gabled roof of asphalt shingles with an ogee-molded boxed cornice and returns, and a roll-up garage door. There is a single-leaf entry opening on the south elevation. Single 2/2 double-hung wood-sash windows pierce the north and south elevations. The interior is finished in beaded board paneling on the walls and ceiling. In the early part of the twentieth century, the building was converted into use as a garage.
