This house was built in about 1911, and the architects—Averill & Adams of Washington, D. C.—gave it a bracingly modern interpretation of the Dutch-colonial style. It was featured in the American Architect for September 27, 1911. The only copy we could find of that issue was a scan from microfilm, but we have done our best to clear up the images to make the details visible. They show us that, externally, the only major change has been the enclosing of the side porch to make a sun room, which was done properly, so that we would hardly know it had not been enclosed originally.
In the background we can see the Morris Bachman mansion still under construction.
