The June 1984 Historic Site and Building Inventory indicates that "the porch steps have a long run, indicative of the high floor line", The stairs are proposed to be replaced because they have deteriorated due to weathering and improper repair in the past to such an extent that they are unsafe. The current stairs are composed of painted wood and have a wooden guardrail on each side. The guardrail is not original to the house. A photo of the house taken as part ofthe June 1984 Inv~ntory shows a much more open guardrail than the one that currently exists.
