Historic narrative:

Style: Greek Revival

This house most likely had the same builder as the cobblestone house at 6123 Ridge Road using the same style and materials. Small cobbles were used on the front and sides. The corners are pilasters rather than quoins. The lintels again have a raised segment in the middle of the top.
