House
This elaborate, two-story Italianate style house was constructed circa 1864 on Stillwaters North Hill. The large, frame house has a limestone foundation, clapboard siding, and one-over-one double-hung windows. It is covered by a cross gable roof with clipped gables. Its scrolled wood brackets at the corners, centrally sited tower with small wood brackets, overhanging eaves, the chamfered columns on the front porch, and the tall and narrow one-over-one windows are characteristics of the Italianate style that was popular in the United States in the mid- to late nineteenth century. Little is known about the early residents of this house. Based on its design, the garage appears to date from around 1920. The first know residents were William J. Glennon and Charles E. Ebert, who lived in the house in 1960 according to the city directory from that year. By 1970, James L Borden was living in the house, and in 1978, it was converted to a duplex. The current homeowner has sensitively restored the house based on a historical John Runk photo and returned the house to its original use a single-family residence.
