History

Built in 1904(121 years ago), this two-story wood-frame structure is one of the city's finest Late Victorian houses. It has the irregular massing and turret typical of Queen Anne styling, but its porch is more Colonial Revival in style. It was built by J. W. Turner as a residence for himself and his wife, Kate (Kelso) Turner, who was from a family with a long history in the county. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982(43 years ago). [1]
