"Two-story frame home with hipped roof and slightly projecting pedimented cross gable.
The gable ends are filled with imbricated shingles and the house retains its original wood
siding and plain window trim. The entrance is located in the center bay and has sidelights
on either side of the door. On the second floor is a tall window flanked by shorter stained
glass windows, which is a play on a Palladian style window. There is a full width front porch
with dentiled cornice and squared columns. Over the steps is a low pediment. An interior
marble fireplace was salvaged from the original Westminster Hall on the Westminster
College campus following the fire that destroyed it. An outbuilding of unknown date is
located behind the house.
"The home was built by Turner Rosser who was the manager of Lacrosse Lumber company
and also was the first president of Fulton Savings and Loan Association." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
