Transitional Colonial Revival cottage Built in 1907 Architect and Builder unknown

A very unique Colonial Revival Cottage with a shallow rectangular bay and flat Doric Pilasters at the corners. It has a flat roof, although it could've originally have a roof with the traditional dormer window.

\ Pilaster is a shallow rectangular feature, having a capital and a base, and imitating the form of a column, that projects slightly beyond the wall into which it is built. Origin of the word is from 1565-75, modeled on Italian pilaster or Medieval Latin pilastrum*
