"This two-story compact clapboard-sided home was built for Dr. E. W. Beebe by local master carpenter Benjamin Hoxie. The decorative brackets on the dormer roofs, cornice, bay window, and porch, along with the tall narrow windows with ornate lintels, are reminiscent of the Italianate style. However, the distinguishing feature of this residence of the steep-sided mansard roof with single and double window dormers."
