It is a typical one-and-a-half story frame house of the period, but details probably added in the late nineteenth century augment the visual appearance. The house was probably very similar to its neighbor at 320 Park in its original form and design. Details include an ornate porch with entry gable, turned balustrade, and posts. The original gable brackets are present as is an ornate cable trim at the cable apex. Such an elaborate porch is unique in Lockerbie Square. The three first floor openings are ornately framed with round arches. <br>-From Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, Lockerbie Square Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1987 |
