Transitional Queen Anne built in 1893 by Architect: Otoo Collischonn & Builder: Ben Lamborn Cost: $4,500
Transitional Queen Anne, its corner tower starts as a rectangular bay on the first floor then becomes faceted on the second floor and finishes with a tall witch’s cap. Note the elaborate decoration in the prominent portico, matching its gable roofline. The decorative gold leaf glows at sunset and the scrollwork and intricate wood detailing make this façade one of a kind.
