History

This house was probably built for I. Edward Templeton, who was a conductor for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. [2] The 1890 structure is an example of an early mail order plan that was popular in the late 19th century. [3] The plans, or in some cases the whole house, could be ordered from a catalogue or an advertisement found in newspapers or magazines.

Architecture

The house is a simplified version of the Queen Anne style known as the Shingle Style. This structure is also an example of a "pinwheel" house. [3] It is a two-story square box, with a pointed hipped roof, and gabled projections that are asymmetrically placed at the front and on the sides of the structure. [3] The house also features an Eastlake porch, a variety of surface textures and stained glass transom lights.
