Other features include decorative gables with a diamond pattern on the porch gable, spool and spindle porch frieze and turned posts, a wood panel entry door with two rectangular and two square glass panels and a stained glass window to the left of the door. Several metal bed frames are on the porch and a mailbox hangs on the right side of the door. Caroline Bancroft stands in front of a wood frame house on the left, which ahs a projecting bay window.
