268 Pine Street One-storey, hip-roofed, (sand-blasted) beige-brick, Victorian cottage with buff-brick trim, and with front and side, brick bay windows (c. 1880). East Elevation Asymmetrical façade is built off local, squared-rubble foundation and buff-brick plinth with beveled top-course. Wall is built of beige brick, with corner pilasters rising to band-course at eaves, all in buff-brick. Central door, reached by small flight of concrete steps with metal railings, is protected by simple, segmental canopy (witnesses of earlier porch remain). Front door is period, half-glazed, wooden door with lower panels (behind metal screen door). Transom window, hidden by small metal storm, remains within segmental-arch opening. Buff-brick voussoirs and (cut-back) hood-mouldings drop at upper jambs, stepping inwards below springer height. At RH side, 2/2 window has ashlar sill, with arch etc. as described. To LH side, bay window has 1/1 windows (behind metal storms) in each face, with ashlar sills over decorative, buff-brick panels in each face, and with buff-brick, segmental window-heads as elsewhere. Soffits are aluminum-clad, and roof has brown asphalt shingles. Rebuilt chimney at south wall has original, buff-brick base, but is without ornamentation. A hip-roofed addition exists to the south, clad in finely spaced clapboard and with period, wooden storm windows over 1/1 windows having taller bottom sashes. An unsuitable metal canopy conceals the window-heads.
