Near the front of the gable
roof is a two-section belfry. The
bottom section is a simple, almost square form with wood siding and corner
trim; the section is topped with a wood molding or cornice. Above
the molding, and slightly recessed, is a wooden castellated railing, which
adds a Gothic Revival detail (perhaps not uncommon on Greek Revival buildings
of the time.) The section above is not as wide as the one below and
it has an arched opening on each of its sides. The metal roof is
an inflected dome with a small metal ball on top. Each of the twelve
over twelve windows has a louvered wood shutter at each side. The
bottom half section on all of the shutters is operable. The top molding
on the upper windows meet the trim below the roof cornice.
The back elevation seemed
to have had four twelve over twelve windows (two on each floor) and a small
six paints window lighting the attic. The upper right window has
been blocked out and there is a metal fire stair that comes down from the
blocked window to the bottom left side of the elevation.
