”417 Cliff, Queen Anne/Colonial Revival, 1899, Edward L. Van Cleeck
An essentially Colonial Revival house on its front facade but with Queen Anne details and materials in the shingled second story and the round corner tower with pointed roof. The balanced front facade, with beautifully detailed entrance porch and terrace, rests on a stone foundation.
