Description and history

The 2 12-story wood-frame house was built c. 1889, and has a combination of Queen Anne and Shingle Style features. Shingled elements include window bays, both projecting and recessed, while the porches are decorated with a clear Queen Anne flair, including arched openings and a floral design in the gable end of the front porch.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 6, 1989.[1]
