Description

One of the oldest houses in the neighborhood, this is a onestory, Queen Anne cottage. An L-shaped front and side gabled roof defines the building plan. The front gable, faced partially with fishscale shingles, caps a projecting three-sided bay. Tall and narrow double-hung sash windows with curved aprons are located in the bay. Tiny fan-shaped brackets mark the gable overhang. The porch is located in the void of the "LW and is defined by a pent roof on plain posts which extends in front of the bay. A pair of double-hung sash windows are located at the south end of the porch while the entry is at the north end. The house, which is sided with clapboard, sits on a cobblestone foundation. It is in fairly good condition, with facade alterations limited to the porch.

This house is notable as an example of the late 19th century Queen Anne style. Located near the Sante Fe tracks in the Tucker and Anderson Subdivision, the house predates the recording of the tract in 1907. Based on its typical Queen Anne features, including an L-shaped facade, three-sided bay, vestigial woodwork, and narrowly proportioned windows, it is estimated that the house dates to c. 1898. Prior to subdivision all of lot 609 was owned by the Ontario Investment Company. Afterwards this lot passed through the hands of W.E. Williamson (1908), A.R. Burkholder (1909), Harry S. Fies (1910-20) and Jacob Hestenreder (from 1921). Fies was listed in the 1916-17 directory at this location; he was a foreman at the Lemon Growers Exchange.
