Other features include a two-story circular bay with conical roof on the west side, a large two-story wooden aureole directly to the south of the bay, to fly at oriole windows on the ease in double decked porches with ornate radials and balusters on the rearview side. The multiple gable roofline is Slate with dormers and tall chimneys with corbel talks. The property is bordered by a limestone retaining wall on the south side of East alley sides.
