Built in 1906, this Traditional 2-story historic home, known as the Newbold-Alexander Homestead, is located in the Historic District of the quaint town of Creswell, showcasing classic Southern architecture and timeless character! It stands as a tangible link between Creswell's turn-of-the-century merchant boom and its modern-day preservation. William N Newbold's daughter, Mary and son-in-law, J.W. Starr, constructed the grand two-story home during the town's growth period between 1900 and 1915. (1906) For the first half of the 20th century, the home was anchored by the Starr/Newbold descendants. In 1976, ownership transferred to the Alexanders.
