Mann & MacNeille set the main facade sideways to Tibbett Avenue, facing north
Rather than facing the street, the main facade of this house runs perpendicular to Tibbett Avenue and looks north. The stuccoed brick house has a bracketed, slate-covered jerkinhead gable, tall stuccoed chimneys, enclosed porches on the south and a matching garage at the back. The commission found it remarkably intact in 2006.
