NOTES
Additional Information:ONE OF EVANSVILLE'S FINEST COLONIAL REVIVAL STYLE HOUSES.

Paul Pullen was a member of a prominent Evansville family long associated with banking.

"The Pullen house occupies a large corner lot, and is one of the tow finest examples of Colonial Revival architecture in Evansville. (The other is the Cleland Baker Residence at 227 Garfield Avenue, built in 1940.) The Pullen house consists of a clapboard-clad two-story-tall rectilinear plan main block. Flat-arched window openings, containing paired nine-over-one light double-hung wood sash windows, flank the centered main entrance, which is sheltered by a deep, classically-derived front entrance porch that features a pediment which is also supported by Tuscan Order columns. Paul R. Pullen was a member of a prominent Evansville family long associated with banking." Evansville Historic Preservation Commission, Historic Evansville Walking Tour brochure, 2014.
