Additional Information: | This Queen Anne design combines a variety of forms and materials. Main gables on the porch and facade consist of shingles and carved details. Adjoining towers are clapboard and terminate in bell shaped roofs. The first story consists of cut stone and red brick. Bands of classical ornament encircle the tower and further enliven the surface. This is the best example of Steven's work in the Queen Anne style. Other similar designs remain at 529 Algoma (OS 12/4) and 618 Mt. Vernon (OS 7/8) and 621 W. Irving St. (OS 16/24). Daniel Clyde Buckstaff was Treasurer of the Buckstaff Company when this house was built. He eventually rose to President of that concern. The house cost $15,000 to construct. |
