Structure Description

A Queen Anne style house of "selected brick with stone trimmings" highlighted by original stained glass windows. Like others in the area, the McMein house has undergone many renovations, including the expansion of the front and side porches into a gracious wraparound porch, which was likely done by Chatten in 1907.
