Description:
Typical of folk houses of the late Victorian period, this house has an L-shaped plan and square, symmetrical massing. Two and a half stories high and three bays wide, this house is clad in blue painted wood shingle. Its cross gable roof is clad in asphalt shingle. The windows are two-over-two double hung, and appear to be original. The windows, as well as the front door, have white painted moulding surrounds and lintels. The simple wrap around porch is supported by spindle posts. A gable projection in the porch roofline highlights the front doorway.

This house appears on a 1915 map of Patchogue as a property owned by J. Snetzler.
