Regarding 622 Chapel St.. Excerpt from the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Ottawa East Side Historic District, which includes this house:
TheDr. Joseph Cushman Hathaway House, built around 1890 at 622 Chapel Street, is a handsome example of the picturesque variant of the Queen Anne Style, popular in the 1880s and early 1890s in the Midwest. The house exhibits the irregular massing, multiple rooflines, variety of exterior wall treatments, and prominent wraparound porch with spindle work ornamentation, all of which are characteristic of the style. The house was remodeled in the 1920s — stucco was applied to the exterior walls, and the original porch was replaced — but was brought back to its original appearance in the 1990s.
