Description
The Laurels is a cottage built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a tiled roof with three ridge stacks on the right side. The building is two stories high and has a one-over-two window arrangement on the front. The windows are large-pane sashes with segmental heads, although one window is now blocked and painted over. To the left of the right-hand pair of windows, there is a boarded door with a segmental head. The left-hand bay, which is more widely spaced and styled similarly, is likely an addition to the original structure.
