Notes:
This house is a rare example of late Stick Style construction. It has pierced and incised wood details, clapboard siding, a steep roofline and stick-work. It also has beautiful stained glass windows. Stained glass windows were a stylish detail of the Queen Anne and Shingle styles. By 1882 these two styles had replaced the Stick Style in popularity, especially on the east coast.
