John P. Griffin House – c. 1925

This two-story, hip-roofed house is three-bays wide and triple pile with a one-story, shed-roofed addition at the right rear. The house has a one-story, hip-roofed front porch supported by tapered wood posts on brick piers with an original wood railing. A hipped front dormer has a set of three four-light Craftsman windows. The house retains original wood weatherboards and trim and four-over-one Craftsman wood windows. The front door is a modern replacement, but retains original transom and sidelights. The earliest known occupant is John P. Griffin (clerk, Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company) in 1925.
