Property Features
This house is architecturally significant as a fine example of the Mediterranean Revival style. This style was one of the popular period revival styles of the early twentieth century. It features tile roofs, brick walls, and classical details. This house, with its fine tile roof and impressive and well-executed stone trims in a classical motif, represents the style well. The house is a formal and elegant design, while not being institutional.
This was the home of Edward Lyons between 1909 and 1919. The house was probably built for Lyons, the President of the Standard Lime and Stone Company.
At the present time this house is not historically significant. Further research may uncover information that makes the house significant in the future.
