"This 2½ story, hipped roof, single family residence has a tower-like projecting center bay
that extends a full three stories and is topped with a hipped roof dormer. The second and
third floors of the tower have frame oriels with restrained decoration. Attenuated Doric
columns, and leaded glass transom and sidelights surround the primary entrance. Simple
1/1 wood windows with stone sills and lintels flank the tower on both the first and second
floor. A wide eave decorated with small dentils is seen at the roofline. A hipped roof porch,
supported by Tuscan columns on stone plinths, extends across the first floor. The porch
balustrade consists of stone blocks stacked in a checkerboard pattern. The secondary
entrance is on the North elevation, which faces St. Louis Avenue. A single bay porch
supported by arched braces and Tuscan columns mark the entrance. Over the porch is a
frame oriel window with leaded and stained glass windows and transoms in a floral and bud
design (these windows are at the stair landing on the interior). A hipped roof dormer also
tops the secondary entrance bay. There is a non-historic frame shed with carport extension
on the north side of the lot.
"Dave McCue and his wife Ida, both of whom worked at the Missouri School for the Deaf, built
the property. The house was likely commissioned when Mr. McCue obtained the position of
Assistant Superintendent of the School for the Deaf in 1907. However, as Mr. McCue was
not a wealthy man and he ran out of funds before the house was completed. According to
Jay Dunham, who was interviewed regarding the property, McCue had been very good to the Christian Church, so the church got behind him to finish construction. He was also assisted by has brother, a brick maker. At the time of completion, this was considered one
of the grandest homes in Fulton. The building was later used as a funeral home and office
building. It is currently being restored to a single-family dwelling." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
