"Home of A.C. Stites, according to a 1909 plat.
"The prominent features of this building are its side gable, dormers, porches, bay window and general symmetry and tight proportions. The facade features a projecting, open frame wood porch topped by a wood balustrade at the second story. The entry has probably been altered from a single door with sidelights (typical colonial motif) to a wood; six-panel, single-leaf door with a wood storm door containing 8 lights; now surrounded by vertical wood panels.. A three sided bay
window exists to the east of the entry containing a large, wood, multi-paned, fixed window and two windows of wood, with wood sash, double-hung, multi-paned, with wood sills. This bay window unit is topped by a hipped roof. The second level contains two sets of double windows of wood with wood sash, nine over nine, double--hung, flat-topped, with wood lintels and wood lugsills. The dormers are symmetrically placed with overhanging gables and contain single, wood,
multi-paned casement windows with flat-tops and wood lugsills. The second level slightly overhangs the first level. All elevations are covered by wood shingles. On the eastern elevation there is an open frame screened-in porch with wood columns in the Doric order. A single, wood, French door opens onto this porch." ~ Kirkwood Historic Survey Phase II, page 389
