| Additional Information: | ONE OF EVANSVILLE'S EARLIEST PERIOD REVIVAL DESIGNS. "Like most architects of his time, Benjamin Hoxie kept abreast of the changes that were occurring in architectural fashions and while he is most closely associated with buildings designed in the Queen Anne style, this house shows that he was ready to adapt to changes in fashion as necessity dictated. This 1.5-story tall house, which Hoxie designed and built for himself as an investment property in 1900, just one year before his death, is in many ways still almost a Queen Anne style house that has been given a gambrel roof."
