This property is lcoally significant as a well-preserved and rather original example of an early Tudor Revival cottage. The quaint, vernacular cottages of Tudor England captured the imagination of architects and the general public in the late 19th century because of their picturesque, hand-crafted, homey charm. This remarkable little house is a very rare example of such a house executed in the wood and patterned shingle idiom of the Queen Anne mode. The massing, the banded leaded latticed windows and vestibule and the gabled box bay windows give this house a more genuinely English appearance than was ever achieved in the typical Queen Anne style houses of the period. This house illustrates the transition from the Queen Anne to the Elizabethan Revival and Arts and Crafts styles of the early 1900s when more authentic masonry materials, most commonly brick and stucco, were used to build houses such as this rather than clapboard and shingle. |
