NOTES
Additional Information:ORIGINALLY LOCATED AT 915 GRANT ST.; MOVED TO CURRENT LOCATION IN 1905. Projecting gabled pavilion. This house seems to incorporate several styles. In its massing and such details as corner pilasters and paired brackets it shows Italianate influence. Its decoratively shingled gable is Queen Anne in inspiration and in its Doric porch piers and barrel vaulted gabled porch roof, and much of its window treatment, it seems to be related to the Period Colonial Revival style.
