"Following the construction of these early houses, real estate activity
within the District was virtually dormant until the mid-185Os when
Dutch-born Henry Tibbe and his son Anton. local corn cob Pipe
manufacturers, began purchasing land along Cedar Street. Soon after,
both erected homes there which ushered in new stylish house designs and
set a standard for the street. In 1885, Henry Tibbe constructed a
large, brick Queen Anne house at the southeast corner of Cedar and
Fourth (318 W. Fourth. photo #3, left foreground) on a one acre parcel
stretching from Cedar to Elm Streets." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
"Revival Styles. 1385-1941. Coded C ; Photos #1 through #1O).
"This group
of twenty-one buildings represents nearly two-thirds of the total
District count. Fourteen are Queen Anne, four are Colonial Revival,
and there is one example each of the following styles: Neoclassical,
Tudor, and a mixed revival vocapulary. The District's four frame
buildings are within the Queen Anne Revival group. All of the Revival
buildings rise two or two and one-half stories except for three brick
one or one and one-half story houses. Queen Anne houses exhibit most of
the major stylistic characteristics associated with the style:
irregular plan-shapes with set-backs, or projecting wings or bays;
hipped roofs with asymmetrically placed front and side gables, or full-width
front gable roofs; asymmetrical façades often punctuated with
towers or bays; one-story front porches; and tall chimneys. Several of
the houses also display exuberant detailing commonly found in the
style: Eastlake incised panels, elaborated wood bracketed or corbelled
brick cornices, filigree corner brackets, roof finials, prominent
façade gables enriched with trusses, sunbursts or patterned wood
shingles. Three frame houses - 309, 315, and 413 Cedar - display
overhanging front gables. A few of the later (circa 1905-1910] Queen
Anne houses take up a free classic subtype defined principally by the
use of classically detailed corones and more restrained massing."
