| Additional Information: | Carriage House is NC and is now connected to the house, which has been beautifully restored. Local builder and hardware merchant, Caleb Snashall, constructed many of the fine Victorian buildings in Evansville. "This large 2.5-story home with numerous additions shows mostly Queen Anne elements, with a Classical Revival Palladian window, cornice returns, and pedimented porch. The highly decorative shingle-like cladding in the gable ends and along the upper story is typical of late Queen Anne style. Other distinctive details are the sunrise motif in the street-side gable end, two-story curved double bay, and the classically ornamented open porch with railing. Local builder and hardware merchant Caleb Snashall constructed many of the fine Victorian buildings in Evansville."
