NOTES
Additional Information:THIS WAS HOXIE'S OWN HOUSE. THE CARRIAGE HOUSE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS HOUSE HAS ITS OWN AHI #140884.

"This very intact, cruciform plan, two-story-tall house was designed and built by Benjamin Hoxie as his own home and it is an excellent example of Hoxie's early Queen Anne style designs. The Hoxie house occupies a large corner lot and has principal elevations that face onto both South First Street and Highland Street. Its asymmetrical main facade faces east onto South First Street. A one-story veranda spans almost the full width of the main facade and wraps around the house's northeast corner. It has an almost flat roof that is supported by slender turned Tuscan Order wood columns." Evansville Historic Preservation Commission, Historic Evansville Walking Tour brochure, 2014.
