Structure Description

Typical of Prairie style, the exterior of the Oakley house has large overhanging eaves. The front porch wraps around the home to allow for a smooth transition between outside and inside. The garden pergola reflects how the outdoor living spaces were enhanced. The heavily squared fence posts are embellished with geometric design and exemplify the Arts and Crafts style as well.
