This one-story wood-framed cottage has a rectangular plan and gabled roof. A full porch is recessed beneath the gable end, supported by paired posts with unusual corbelled capitals. Large ornamental brackets are set beneath the wide roof overhang. This bungalow was built c. 1911 and had a succession of tenants until purchased by T. R. Kenning, a contractor, c. 1925. The Kennings owned the house until 1973. It is virtually identical to a 1910 house built by contractor R. W. McDonald at 1909 Fifth Avenue [also documented in this survey]. The Kenning House is a contributing resource in the Fairmount-Southside Historic District (local and national).
