The Krough House is a one-story, wood-frame, single-family residence built in a Queen Anne style. It has redwood siding with a pitch gable roof covered with composition shingles. A small window appears just above two bay windows located at the front of the house. A staircase leads to a redwood paneled front door and porch. The rear of the house has a sun porch and rear entrance. The house has a small cellar with an entrance outside. In the 1890s, Central Avenue was a street of many Queen Anne houses. Today, the Krough House is one of only four of the houses remaining. [2] [3]

The Krough House has had several owners; a major restoration of the house and landscaping took place in 1979. [2] [4]

The house is named for the Krough family who were immigrants from Slesvig, Germany [5] [2] [6] who built the Krough House on 146 Central Avenue. [7]
