The free traditional porch wraps across the southern corner of the front elevation and the 2-story turret projects from the northeast nook.

Early images also exhibit a brick chimney at the north end of the house close by the parlor.

It is not diagnosed what brought about the alternative, however a severe earthquake hit the area in 1954 and might have compromised the stability of the previous chimney.

The garage became of enough length to house the Doctor's vehicle, and was asked to have an internal turntable, which could rotate one hundred ninety degrees so the automobile could be driven directly out of the building.

A next redesign between 1923 and 1947 transformed the Cottage Hospital into apartments and covered a third addition to the rear and the porch happened to be enclosed at that point.
