House
According to historical maps this ornate, Queen Anne style house was built circa 1895. The one-and-a-half-story, frame structure, with its limestone foundation and clapboard siding is covered by a cross-gable roof. A large hipped roof dormer on the front elevation covers a second story balcony that is adorned with turned spindles and pendants. The steeply pitched, irregular shaped roof; the two-story, octagonal tower; patterned shingles; and spindlework are characteristics of the Queen Anne style. The tower, with its bell-shaped roof, is located at the center of the ell-shaped plan. The tower features fish-scale shingles between the first and second stories and sunburst patterned details on the second story. The house features one-over-one double-hung windows, one-light fixed windows, and a shed roof front porch with turned columns and spindles. The limestone basement is partially exposed on the rear elevation due to the steep slope of the lot. The early residents of the house are unknown. The first known resident was Elmer W. Larson, who was living in the house by 1956 and remained through the 1960s. In 1970, Gilbert D. Holst was residing in this handsome house.
