Additional Information: | The Prospect Hill & Conrad Cottages Historic Districts: A Guide: "This house was built for Dr. William H. Palmer, who was the son of noted Janesville physician and Mayor Dr. Henry Palmer. The Palmers lived here until 1910. Dr. Guy Waufle and his wife Maude lived here from 1917-1950. The Palmer House exemplifies many of Janesville's well-detailed Queen Anne style houses from this period. the roof has several gables and projections, and a large bell-roofed circular turret. The exterior of the house is sided with very narrow clapboards and the gables are shingled. A Palladian window is a dominant element of the facade and a veranda carried by paired Tuscan columns wraps around the northeastern corner. The building has also served as a law office." |
