Vernacular House
Little is actually known about its early history. This one-and-a-half-story, rectangular-shaped frame house was built on a different site circa 1900. The house rests on a modern foundation concealed by lattice and is clad in vinyl siding with corner boards. The modern siding is consistent with the lap of the original siding. The most prominent feature of the house is its steeply-pitched hipped roof with large, hipped roof dormers on the front and side elevations. The front dormer covers an open-air balcony with turned columns and square balusters that reveal the age of the house. A full-width front porch is located below this dormer and is covered by a shed roof with a pedimented gable over the steps. The house features one-over-one double-hung sash windows with wood surrounds. A modern, large two-story addition with a hip roof extends from the rear elevation. Although most of Sabbins addition was developed by the early twentieth century, this site remained vacant for many decades until this house was moved to this site in the 1980s. This house is a successful example of historic preservation in Stillwater, as the dwelling was relocated instead of being demolished and the style, form, and material of the house fit in with the Sabbins Addition neighborhood.
