The one-story porch is centered on the front facade and is capped by a flat roof supported by large square brick piers which are decorated with applied concrete ornamentation. The roof is enhanced by a jigsawn balustrade. There are three bays: two one-over-one double-hung wood-framed sash which project slightly from the face of the building and are covered with tiled shed roofs, and a single-leaf, glazed door with sidelights and transom.

asphalt-covered gable roof and a cross-gable over a projecting bay. There is an
arched vent and fish scale shingles in the gable end. The porch is covered by a

on stuccoed bases.

If you're wondering what the little figure is in the upstairs window, it's Batman!

supported by Doric columns and topped with a heavy balustrade.
2130 Cherry Street, ca 1920 -- A one-story, asbestos-sided, three-bay bungalow facing east, with an asphalt-covered gable roof with exposed rafters. A cross gable supported by brick piers covers a full-width front porch. The porch is screened and a three-part vent is evident in the gable end.

five-bay galleried cottage facing west, with an asphalt-covered gable roof.
