History

Sylvester Opdyke was a local builder, and he constructed this house for his family in the early 1890s. In about 1902, the William Boyce family moved in, followed later by the Charles Linzey family. Little more is known about the history of the home. [2]

Description

The Opdyke House is a two-story Queen Anne structure with asymmetrical massing, varied placement, and an irregular roofline. A hip roof tower is located on the corner of the house. The first floor facade contains a variety of one-over-one double hung sash windows accented with stained glass. A scalloped wood bandcourse runs around the base of the superstructure. On the second story are tri-sided bays, with shingled window aprons. The windows also have stained glass accents and carved spandrels. [2]
