John Hagstrom House
This Italianate style house was constructed circa 1886 for John Hagstrom. The two-story, frame dwelling, rests on a limestone foundation, is faced with clapboard siding, and has a hip roof with an interior brick chimney. The house retains its clapboard siding with corner boards, and one-over-one and two-over-two double-hung windows. Its low-pitched roof with wide, overhanging eaves and tall and narrow windows with decorative wood surrounds are characteristics of the Italianate style that was popular in the United States in the mid- to late-nineteenth century. A two-story, hipped roof addition on the north elevation was constructed at the same time as the original building. A two-story, hipped roof addition on the east elevation features an enclosed porch on its south elevation. This addition replaced a circa 1900 one-story addition that also had a porch on its south elevation. This addition respects the design, scale, and materials of the original building. According to historical maps, sometime after 1956, the original full-width porch was removed from the front elevation and the current one-story, front-gabled, masonite clad garage was built in the back yard. Based on its form, materials, and historical maps, the garage was constructed circa 1960. The house was built circa 1886 for John Hagstrom. According to the 1890-1891 city directory, Hagstrom owned a confectioner and grocery business at 115 East Myrtle Street. Hagstrom and his family resided in this house until the turn of the century. In 1956, William C. Roloff owned this property.
