ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE

52 Vine Street is a one-and-a-half-story vernacular gable front structure with Colonial Revival details such as the front gable with turned eaves to produce a simplistic pediment. The home also exhibits a dormer with similar characteristics of the front gable, found at the north elevation. The full-width front porch appears to be enclosed however, the windows, front door and sidelights are intended to be removed during the summer months and reinstalled during the winter months. This home is a mirrored copy of the adjacent property at 58 Vine Street.
