Kennedy, a builder and carpenter, as his own home. It rests on brick piers and has a hipped roof with intersecting gables. A two-story porch and gallery with turned columns and a pent roof wrap the southwest corner, and the first-floor windows sit in a projecting box window. The design is vernacular, with Queen Anne and Eastlake touches. It is regarded as one of the finest examples of that combination of styles in a two-story house in the Heights. Its scale and massing point to a prosperous owner. Kennedy's descendants lived in the house until 1960. The porches were restored to their original appearance in 1983, and a rear attached garage at the northeast corner is not contributing. The house remains a residence and sits among homes of similar date and style.","period_of_significance":"1900 -","architect_builder":"Marshall W.
