Dr. Carl Norris, a dentist, had this two-story frame Neo-colonial house constructed around 1912.    The one-story wraparound porch supported by box pylons on brick plinths substantially augments the main block of the house.    The boxy form is surmounted by a low hipped roof with a gable containing a lunette attic window in the main elevation.
