It has a gambrel roof with a center gable at the front, a three-bay facade, a projecting tripartite bay window, and a paneled door with a transom. The gable pediment has a pent roof on decorative brackets, fish-scale shingles, and an oval window with four darts at the cardinal points. Windows throughout are wood-sash, one-over-one. The house occupies a corner lot among homes of similar date, with large live oaks and a picket fence. Emil Lindenberg, the original owner, lived there until 1938 and used the home as a studio for teaching violin and other orchestral instruments. It was listed because it is one of the few Dutch Colonial houses in the Heights, a rare local example of the style. A modern rear garage does not contribute to its character.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Dutch Colonial","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Physical condition is described as excellent; the house is still used as a residence.
