It has a medium pitched-hipped roof with projecting hipped roof cross gable. The cross gable has a squared projecting two-story bay with tall narrow windows above paneled plates. Decorative scrolled brackets supporting a wood cornice separate the first and second floor of the bay. Small brackets decorate the eaves of the bay and roof.

Court Street
Historic District
Awarded a National Historic designation in 2007, the Court Street Historic Residential District begins on 10th Street and continues to Fulton's historic downtown. The tree-lined streets compliment 83 homes of varying architectural styles, many of which were designed by a prominent Missouri architect and Fulton resident, M.F. Bell, and remind us of a time when life was much less hectic.
"Hip bellcast roof - main section, A; mansard with iron cresting, B; bellcast hip, C; flat, D; hip. All asbestos shingle.
Sec. B & C connect house with garage. Since foundation and decorative saw-tooth design entablature over windows on B matches main section house , uncertainty over whether B is a later addition. (Saw-tooth entablatures same as house at 819 Center.) C & D do appear to be later additions, however. None of this could be verified. Further research thus required.
"Period detailing:
Cresting around mansard roofed porch A, and on roof of projecting window - E.
Pilasters at corners of main section extend from ground up only 1 1/2
stories, not full 2 stories.
Window sections E and F have narrow bracketed hoods.
"A house with definite neighborhood significance.
Fr. Hamilton is currently Prosecuting Attorney." ~ Fulton Historic Survey part 1, page 977
