From Historic Chapel Hill:

"Set at the north end of Cobb Terrace, this one-story, front-gabled building was originally oriented to the east, the house was reoriented when Cobb Terrace was paved at the rear of the house. The house is two bays wide and triple-pile and has asbestos siding, one-over-one wood-sash windows, and an exterior brick chimney on the left (north) elevation. A replacement door on the right (south) end of the west elevation is sheltered by a gabled roof on knee brackets. There is a four-light window in the front gable and a basement-level entrance with shed-roofed hood on the left elevation. A one-story, gabled wing at the right rear (southeast) has a concrete-block foundation, asbestos siding, a six-light window, and a basement-level three-light-over-three-panel Craftsman-style door. There is an uncovered wood deck at the left rear (northeast) and a stone wall at the street. County tax records date the building to 1927 and the building appears on the 1932 Sanborn map. In the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Contributing Building."
