This mansardic residence on Norfolk Street built in the late 1800s is one of three such houses in the Wollaston/Forbes Hill neighborhood. It is set on a typical Quincy granite foundation. Its asymmetrical facade is composed of an angular one-story bay window and an entrance which has retained its original double doors with arched panes inset at the top. It is a simple version of the numerous doors illustrated in A. J. Bicknell's 1873 Detail, Cottage and Constructive Architecture.
