Historical Statement: Built in about 1865. Moved to its present location at the turn of the century when the Malcolm Jeffris Hosue was built at 502 St. Lawrence. Owned in the early 1900s by George A. Jacobs, an insurance agent.
Also known as the William Judd House.
"This gable-roofed Italianate house with a one-story side ell was moved to this location about 1905, when the Malcolm Jeffris house was built at 502 St. Lawrence. It is a good example of an Italianate style house of wood-frame construction. Of note are the flat "hourglass" door and window surrounds, a detail seen on several other early houses in the district. George A. Jacobs, an insurance agent, owned this house in the early 1900s." The Courthouse Hill Historic District: A Guide, Janesville Historic Commission, 1997.
