Description and history

It was built in 1880 for L. B. Higgins, a merchant who operated a dry goods business downtown. The 2+12-story frame house is considered one of the best examples of Stick style architecture in the city. It is roughly rectangular, with a hip roof whose cornice is decorated with Stick style brackets. A gabled section projects slightly on the left side of the front facade, with a projecting bay window at the first floor. The right side of the front is taken up by a hip-roof porch, supported by turned posts, and with a decorative valence. It has retained much of its original wood details and clapboard siding. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984. [1]
