House
This large, corner house was constructed circa 1905 and replaced a small, one-story structure that was built on the western edge of the lot and was visible on the 1870 Birds Eye View of the City of Stillwater. The existing, two-story frame house has a limestone foundation, clapboard siding, and a cross gable roof with two brick chimneys on its ridgeline. The vernacular style house features one-over-one double-hung and one-light square and round fixed windows. The ell-shaped form of the house and the overhanging eaves are indicative of the Italianate style while the square-butt wood shingles in the gables and window surrounds are indicative of the Queen Anne style. The hipped roof porch on the front elevation was enclosed at some point in time. The different porch styles and enclosed sleeping porch on the second story show how the house has further changed over time. Historical photos show a hipped-roof porch supported by brick posts. Throughout the twentieth century, the property changed hands many times. Some of its owners include Marl McFarlane and Donald C. Ancke, Catherine F. and Duncan Chisholm, N. A. Anderson, and Eugene Fischer. The current homeowners purchased the house in 1975, at which time it was used as a duplex. The house has since been converted back to a single family dwelling.
