| Additional Information: | This two-and-one-half story frame house exhibits design features of two then popular architectural styles - the Neo-classic and Georgian Revival. The Ionic-columned full-front porch is typically Neo-classic. Georgian Revival features include the formal arrangement and symmetrical composition, the use of classical details, and pedimented dormers. Built for Louis Gilbertson in about 1910. The house was later occupied by Stanley Dunwiddie, of the firm of Richardson & Dunwiddie, lawyers. Dunwiddie served as district attorney. "Built for the Vice-President of a shoe factory, later owners of this Colonial Revival style house have included a tobacco dealer and, between 1923 and 1936, Stanley Dunwiddie, a District Attorney."
