”529 Chestnut, Stick-Eastlake, 1888, John H. Williams
A large and elaborate Stick-Eastlake house almost hidden by trees. The front faηade is composed of a central two story gabled porch between square and octagonal corner bays. The porch is beautifully proportioned with turned columns, screens, and balustrades. There are two full height bays on the side, and a checkerboard band encircles the house between the first and second floors.

[Architectural Significance as an Example of its Style:] Excellent.”
