Its detailing and massing are loosely based on the Tudor style.

Bennett to construct it. It sits in a residential area north of the central business district, near the old Trinity University campus. The asymmetrical frame dwelling has brick veneer, a hip roof with gables covered in tile, wood double-hung windows (most are six-over-six), and a single-door primary entrance. An exterior brick chimney has stone facing on its lower portion, and a side entry porch also has stone facing. Features typical of the Tudor style include a prominent facade gable and a steeply pitched roofline. The house was recognized as architecturally significant because, during the late 1920s and 1930s, many designers of popular residential architecture revived more traditional styles, and its detailing and massing are loosely based on Tudor precedents. Cohn lived in the house until the 1940s. It remains in residential use and is in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Contractor O. B.
