| Additional Information: | Elements of the Shingles Style and Queen Anne style have been combined in this design. The massing is Queen Anne but the flow of volumes suggests awareness of the Shingle style. Vertical elements such as the corner turret and front gable are balanced by bed moldings or porch and pedimented gables. Forbes was a timberland investor. |
