In 1925 architects Wayland and Fennell designed this brick Tudor home for

roof above the recessed, arched door. The house plan is irregular and
window openings are of a variety of sizes and shapes.

A fine two-story late Queen Anne residence built in
1897 by Judge S. B. Kingsbury. The stone and shingle home is distinguished
by a steep roof with flared eaves and a low oval tower above the right of
center entry. The porch extending across the front of the house is 

characterized by stone lattice work and paired columns which support the roof.
A beautiful stained-glass window graces the west side of the home. 

A hitching post and mounting block still remain at the curb.
