This private home is a Queen Ann Victorian style house built in 1898, at a cost of $5,000. The home features fish scale shingles, stained glass windows, a two story turret with witches hat roof, gingerbread trim, two inside stairways, a personal ice house, a windmill, a carriage house, and a hitching post for horses.
