Wood, Walter B., House - Modesto, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Wood House one of the rare examples of Victorian architecture still in existence in Modesto. It is one of only six structures built before 1900 represented in the Historic Building Survey of Modesto.

The building, although modified and given a Queen Anne configuration, maintains an Italianate character in the manner of its decoration, even in the corner tower. It is thus a good representative of this style, and a rare one as well.

The first owner, Walter B. Wood, was a leading early Modesto businessman who made substantial contributions to the development of several local commercial enterprises." (visit link)
