House
This house is one of the few remaining one-story, small, side-gabled houses that were common on Stillwaters North Hill. The frame structure, with its limestone foundation, clapboard siding and one-over-one double-hung windows was constructed circa 1865. The side gable roof with eave returns, the tall and narrow one-over-one windows, and the handsome, hipped roof portico that is centrally located on the front elevation and features stately chamfered piers are characteristics of the Italianate style that was popular in the United States during the mid-nineteenth century. A rear addition was constructed circa 1870 and features an exposed basement due to the steep slope of the lot. The one-story house and the rear addition are visible on the 1870 Birds Eye View of the City of Stillwater. According to historical maps, sometime between 1904 and 1910, the rear addition was extended across the entire rear elevation to give the house a square plan. The second addition features one-over-one double-hung and one-light casement windows. A one-story, hipped-roof addition with exposed basement was added across the rear elevation in 2008. Little is actually known about the early residents of this house. According to the 1956 city directory, Mrs. Carrie Levi, Mrs. Ruby Tanner, and Helen Swaner were the primary residents. By 1965, Victor H. Dacuuha was the primary resident. In 1970, Mary Newago and Mrs. Marie Ledding were residing in the house.
