Description and history

The 1+1⁄2-story timber-framed house was built around 1909 by a Mr. Williams, and was purchased by Dr. James David Watts in 1918, when he moved to the area. It has a hip roof, with cross-gable dormers on the sides and rear, and a large projecting gable-end dormer centered on the front facade. This dormer features a Palladian window, with the surrounding walls covered in diamond-cut and fish-scale shingles. The gable itself is decorated with jigsaw-cut boards. There is a single story porch, supported by Tuscan columns, that wraps around both sides of the house. The front entry is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters supporting an entablature.^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 9, 1994.^[1]
