6. Notes: -Archetypal example of mid-nineteenth century Italianate-style house
with classic bracket and dentil decoration under widely overhanging eaves, and
dentil decoration on window lintels. Although, original survey was mistaken in
calling these flat roofs; Italianate style employed only very low hipped roofs
that appear flat from the ground surface, aerial imagery confirms that these
were not flat but low pyramidal forms. House contributes significantly to
historic landscape and viewshed of Oregon Road.
