Regarding 626 Chapel St.. Excerpt from the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Ottawa East Side Historic District, which includes this house:

. The Hoganson House, also built in 1914, is an interesting combination of Prairie and Craftsman design elements. The low-pitched hipped roof, stucco cladding above the sill line of the second story, and the lack of ornamentation around the window and door openings, are all elements characteristic of the Prairie style, while the modillions under the eaves, the center front dormer, and the prominent brackets supporting the front entry canopy are Craftsman elements. The house is a local landmark.
