The home is a good example of Davenport's Late Queen Anne architecture! Typically, it combines the complex, asymmetrical massing of the Queen Anne with a variety of neoclassical details, such as dentil moldings, modified Tuscan-order columns, and full returns on many gables. This style was often built at street corner locations in city, with the round tower prominently oriented toward the corner. Perhaps in order to exploit the view to the south, down Mississippi Avenue and out over the river. Mostly all original woodwork in excellent shape. Hand-carved built-in buffet.
