DESCRIPTION: The structure is a one-story building of single wall construction, with a pad and post foundation. The exterior finish is board and batten. The rectangular structure has a gable roof, finished with composition shingles which have been applied over wood shingles. An addition, which runs the length of the south side of the structure, is covered with a hip roof which extends from the gable (was this originally a porch?). A small wood entry porch, sheltered by a shed roof, is the main entrance to the building on the south side. Most of the wood frame windows are twelve-light double hung. The corners of the structure are finished with endboards. The old paint on the building is texturized with sand, which was used as a termite deterrent. The structure is in fair to poor condition. The wood shingles under the composition roofing are rotting, possibly causing further damage to the roof structure. Some wood, particularly the old decorative battens (some already replaced) are in need of replacement, due to termites with which the building is. riddled. The structure should be fumigated and painted, and grade should be cleared and vegetation removed.
