Architectural Design
The John C. Anderson House was built in two stages. The first floor, constructed in 1883, features an Italianate design with tall, narrow windows, an asymmetrical porch with paired columns, paired brackets, and a dentillated cornice. The second floor, added in 1892, is designed in the Queen Anne style and includes a square tower with stick style framework, a multi-component roof with gabled dormers, and a stained glass window with a decorative wooden frame. These architectural details offer a unique insight into the design trends of the time.
