| Additional Information: | This property is locally significant under Criterion C as a well-preserved example of a Craftsman bungalow displaying high quality architectural design of considerable originality. This stuccoed bungalow is distinguished by its monumental open gabled porch with exposed trusswork and battered piers. This is one of the more interesting bungalows in Appleton illustrating how sophisticated even this usually humble building type could become in the hands of a talented designer. From "Appleton's Historic Old Third Ward Walking Tour" pamphlet, revised 2014 (www.focol.org/oldthirdward): "Originality of design, open gabled porch with exposed truss work and battered piers bring sophistication to this home, distinguishing it from other Appleton bungalows. Residents have reported the spirit of a former owner coming up the front steps, checking for mail and going in for lunch." |
