The eight-sided turret is a distinct feature of this large two-story home. Like many others in the neighbourhood, it has undergone a number of cosmetic and structural changes over the years. When first built the house was sheathed in brick veneer and had a one-story verandah along the front and east sides. Since that time the porch has been removed, and the brick covered with stucco. The wrought iron fence that runs along the front and east sides marks the size of the original building lot. It was subdivided in the late 1940s. Similar evidence of later subdivision of residential lots can be found throughout the walking tour area.
