Additional Information: | This two-and-one-half story simple Queen Anne house has a hip and gable roof, projecting gables, tall single light sash windows, and a large veranda. The veranda features a wooden deck, square piers supporting round columns, and a pediment marking the entrance. This house is a good example of a simple variation of the Queen Anne style. Elam Hill was the great uncle of Tom Hill Foley. The Hills are related to the Babcocks and apparently that line had relatives on the Mayflower. Flora Babcock Hill, Elam's sister in law, is cited in news accounts as being in the DAR. The son of John and Flora was Jay Hill. He married Catherine Ryan of Waukesha. Her father was head of the state Dem party, ran for governor and vice president. Jay died in a hunting accident in 1919, leaving Catherine and two children, Mary and John. |
