Note: The 1906 Murton E. and Lillian DeGuire House is recognized for its architectural merit as a Free-Classic Queen Anne, a style that incorporates an eclectic mix of Queen Anne and Classical Revival Design elements, which was popular in the late-ninetieth and early-twentieth centuries. While modest in its ornamentation, style is clearly demonstrated through the application of Queen-Anne elements such as the use of varied siding textures, leaded glass, canted corners, projecting bays, and groupings of tall and narrow windows, among other details. The building’s block form and centered wall dormers and gables create the regular symmetry associated with the Colonial Revival Style, which is reinforced by the pediment at each gable and the wide frieze bands separating the first- and second-floor, as well as lining the eaves and gables.
