Architectural Notes
THIS HOUSE REPRESENTS A MORE HUMBLE OR MIDDLE CLASS VERSION OF THE QUEEN ANNE REVIVAL STYLE, ORIGINALLY COVERED IN CLAPBOARD AND LATER WITH STUCCO. THE SQUARE FRONT TOWER IS TOPPED WITH A PEAKED ROOF AND ROUND POMMEL-LIKE COPPER FINIAL. EVERY OTHER FLOOR JOIST IS A HALF LOG AND THE FOUNDATION WALLS APPEAR TO BE EARTH AND RUBBLE.
