Two small front porches on either end of the house, with separate walkways to the sidewalk and street indicate this is a duplex. There are two bay windows on the first floor. Shrubs and trees surround the building. Other residences are partially in view at the left and in the right background. This house was built by the Draper Corporation for its employees.
