725 Jackson
The house at 725 Jackson, built in 1886, also employs contrasting stone widow lintels and walls as a decorative device. The massing of the house suggests form, symmetrical (and therefore, Classical) influence, but the porch retains a fanciful, lacy design suggesting folk Victorian spindle work. The railroads provided local lumber yards with precut detaining from distant mills, and the builder simply grafted these porch columns on to his elegant stone houses.
