Black and white 3 1/2"h x 3 1/2"w photo of another larger house called Pourtney's Oversight in Ridge. This view shows a gable roof story and a half house with an outside end chimney on the near gable end. This is an addition to a two and a half story gable roofed clapboard house. The roof lines of the two buildings are parallel. There are two gable roof dormers in the roof of the addition. A partially enclosed porch has a shed roof supported by two large posts. There are no windows in the gable end of the addition, but there are two nine over nine windows in the near wall of the enclosed porch and a large nine light window on the long face of the enclosure. There is a knee wall the entire length of this face. The porch is supported on brick piers. It appears that the partial enclosure of the porch may be recent. The larger portion of the house has no windows on the visible gable end, nor any chimneys. There is a large television antenna. There are three gable roof dormers in the visible roof and one dormer barely visible on the opposite side. There are three tall windows on the long face of the second floor, but the first floor is obscured by the porch of the addition.
