Description and history[]
The front of the 1+1⁄2-story house is situated facing west and is dominated by a projecting gabled wing that, leading into a striking series of leaded stained glass French doors, set in arched windows and other accents, leading to a shallow balcony with a wrought-iron bannister on its perimeter. The rear elevation is comparatively plain, characterized by a low-pitched V-shaped roof. A rear door and stoop are located at the south end of this elevation. A projecting window-box has replaced an original window adjacent to the door. The remaining window on this elevation is a paired casement window
Completed in 1931, the house was designed and constructed by local merchant Jules Frere as his residence.
