| Additional Information: | Palmer was one of the organizers and secretary-treasurer of the Parker Pen Co., founded by George S. Parker in 1889. "Queen Anne, Classical, and Georgian Revival motifs are combined on this three-story house. Ionic columns carry the pedimented porch, and the Palladian-motif window in the attic gable is a striking feature of the facade. Palmer was an investor in the Parker Pen Company, founded by George S. Parker in 1889." The Courthouse Hill Historic District: A Guide, Janesville Historic Commission, 1997. |
