"The historic J. Roy Tucker house is one of the few examples of brick Queen Anne style homes in the district. A round, three story tower with conical roof highlights the northeast corner of the two story home. The tower windows have heavy stone sills, and the third floor windows have stained glass transoms. At some point the full width porch was removed, and a Romanesque entrance portico added. The house has a steeply pitched hipped roof with cross gables on the north and south elevations. The cornice line and pedimented gables have dentil patterned cornices. Between the first and second floor is a wide section of brick laid in a basket weave pattern.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Roy Tucker moved here as newlyweds in 1906. Mr. Tucker had this house built for his bride, Mattie Belle Pratt. James Roy Tucker was the oldest son of John Wm. Tucker and Carrie Lee Hockaday Tucker, both of whom were from prominent families in Fulton." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
