Description
General Description
This rectangular wood-frame building is one of a pair of outbuildings (see Building 5A) constructed as carriage houses for the adjacent twin dwellings (Buildings 4 and 5). Constructed on a concrete and brick foundation that has been parged, the one-story structure has a front-gabled roof with an ogee-molded boxed cornice and returns. The north elevation is fenestrated with a roll-up garage door and a single-leaf entry opening. There is a pair of 6/6 double-hung wood-sash windows in the south elevation. Clad with vinyl siding with an asphalt-shingled roof, portions of the original wood shingling on the roof are visible. Its interior is finished in beaded board paneling on the walls and ceiling. In the early twentieth century, the building was converted into use as a garage.
