South Porch: The enclosed porch is used as the secondary entrance with a wood ramp providing an accessible entry. The porch walls are bead board and appear to be in fair condition with some warping and cracking. The flooring has been painted and is worn with signs of weathering, primarily near the exterior door. An entry ramp and staircase have been added to the south porch, and are not original to the building. These additions are in fair condition and have significant rust is on the metal elements that connect the ramp to the concrete slab below. Adjacent to the porch on the east side is a staircase leading to the basement. These stairs are covered by a plywood panel. Foyer: The foyer has wood wall paneling, a wood fireplace surround, and wood detailing leading up to the main staircase. The majority of these decorative wood elements are in good condition. The front door is a Dutch door and is fully functioning. The detailing appears to be intact with minimal wear. Two primary areas of wear are around the window seat and at the exposed treads of the staircase.
