NOTES
Additional Information:This two-and-one-half story frame house is a well-preserved example of the Late Queen Anne style. Queen Anne features include horizontal siding, decorative shingled gables, bargeboards, medallions and decorative wall panels, and a wrap-around porch. Built in about 1895. Ira M. Holsapple was a dentist.

"An abundance of sawn millwork enhances this late nineteenth century house: the bargeboards have a stamped pattern: the scroll-sawn bargeboards over canted windows have applied wooden ornament. A circular porch, with spindle frieze and turned posts and balusters, is also a distinctive feature. Ira Holsapple was a Janesville dentist."
