From the NRHP: "This fine and basically unaltered example of Queen Anne - Eastlake residential architecture was built in 1892 of local coastal redwood by Petaluma master builder, Samuel Rodd. Imposingly sited on a double city lot at the corner of Keokuk and Prospect Streets, it lies within central Petaluma's Oak Hill historic residential district which is adjacent to the Brewster mercantile historic district. Two storeys with a half basement (now a rental apartment), the house was constructed in the epitome of taste as a document of the success of a prominent merchant at a peak of Petaluma's prosperity. The property has survived with very little change or deterioration in its original fabric and this integrity strengthens its architectural and historical significance." (visit link)
