This two-story three-by-two bay house has decorative brackets that reveal an Italianate influence. The house as it stands has changed very little from the time of construction. A shed-roofed porch wraps around the front of the house and extends into the ell of the wings. Supported by slender, square posts, the porch is open and has a metal roof. The windows are one-over-one double-hung sash, and are set into wooden frames. The original clapboards are still present, as is the slate roof.
This building dates to 1888-89, when Miss Fannie M. Murray first appears at 250 North Avenue, which is later changed to 252 North Avenue. She continues to reside here until at least 1890. Her name listed on the 1890 Hopkins map for both this property and 230 North Avenue, the one-time home of W.H.H. Murray.11Burlington City Directory, 1888-89; 1889-90; 1890; 1890 Hopkins Map.
