The front entry. According to a 1991 article in Country Living Magazine, the house was built from a Sear's kit around 1908. When you visit us, ask to see the article. The house was oozing with kitsch and overflowing with the worst of Antique Row.
The second floor and spiral staircase were added in 1992. Prior to that, the basement's only access was through an outside door on the North side of the house. Notice the mismatched siding on the first and second stories? And while we're on the topic, note the poor choice of building materials on the second floor (closer inspection of the chipped siding along the shingle line revealed a particle/glue composite instead of solid wood). Thankfully, the second floor is otherwise sound, solid construction.
