History

George Pardee was one of Owosso's most successful lawyers. In 1906, he contracted local builder T. H. Bouser to build this home. [2]

Description

The Pardee House is an eclectic Romanesque Revival-inspired building with an elaborately gabled roofline. The facade is of rough-faced poured concrete block with heavy stone lintels and bandcourses. The massive front porch has Ionic columns and a rounded arch entryway. On one corner of the house is a five-sided, three story tower. The gable ends are deeply recessed, and contain classically-inspired Palladian windows. Other windows in the face contain leaded glass diamond insets. [2]
