Additional Information: | Although altered since construction, this house retains design features of the Queen Anne and Stick styles. Built in the early 1880s for Mary E. Crosby. "The Crosby house is one of several Queen Anne houses in Look West which have in common an abundance of sawn millwork. A variety of wooden brackets were used at the eaves and projecting windows, and the bargeboards have a distinctive routed and sawn motif."
