2-story T-plan house is very similar to neighbors #s 347 and 348 but without continuous frieze (perhaps it was removed for asbestos shingles); 2-bay porch enlivened by small but curly lateral scrolls on turned posts; stylized egg-and-dart molding enlivens cornice and window lintels; Baker (1872-1931) was a glazier; remained in family until 1958.
