(Gus) White and moved to its present site around 1918. The house has an asymmetrical plan, clapboard walls, a double hipped roof with intersecting gables and hipped dormers, ridge cresting, and fishscale shingles in the gable ends. A porch wraps two sides and rests on heavy round columns. Windows are two-over-two and one-over-one. It is believed to have been enlarged when it was moved, and a rear addition was made in the mid-1970s. It was listed as a local example of an early 20th-century farmhouse and is the only one of its kind found in the immediate area.
