Structure Description

The exterior is an eclectic mix of styles due to years of architect/owner E.M. Woods' penchant for redesigning and remodeling to reflect changes in his taste and popular architectural styles. Though the house is a Shingle style home, the Gothic Revival and Prairie styles are also present in the detailing, form, and materials.

Inside the home, the original fireplace tiles, cathedral ceiling, and wisteria patterned stained glass remain. The formal dining room has exceptional egg-and-dart molding and the living room has a built-in bookcase with geometric stained glass windows in the alcove.
