218 6^th St.

          The original structure with two later additions was built before 1885 on the dog trot plan with a central hall.   The west façade has a two-bay pent roofed porch which has Eastlake posts.   Its roofline indicates that the original porch had a pediment over the entrance bay.  Its tin roof and this gable were removed in 1972.   On the east there is a gable ell to the north bay.  At the northeast corner of the fenced rear lot is a new metal storage shed with a gambriel roof.
