2-pane timber sash and case windows, 4-pane timber sash and case windows in canted window. Grey slate double-hipped roof, flat roof to extension to rear. Ashlar, except to NE, end and mutual stacks.

The houses first appear on Sutter's map, 1856 and not upon the map of
2 years before. The houses can therefore be dated at circa 1855. The additions to the rear of the houses are shown upon Sutter's map.
