"The circa 1904 William F. Crome House, 305 South Second Street Clinton, Henry County, Missouri, is a fine example of an American foursquare house with Colonial Revival details. Designed by St. Louis architect Oliver R. S. Traber, the two-story brick single-family dwelling has a modified square plan with a full front porch, a projecting rear ell, and a frame second-story sleeping porch over a frame enclosed back porch. The house sits over a full basement on a poured concrete foundation and has load-bearing brick walls set in a stretcher bond pattern. The asphalt shingle-clad intersecting hip roof has five dormers. Directly behind the house, is a brick garage built at the same time as the house and counted as a contributing structure. Inside the Crome house is exceptionally intact and is distinguished by fine woodwork and leaded art glass. The house has changed very little since it was constructed in 1904 and both the interior and exterior of the Crome house exhibit a high level of integrity of design, setting, materials, craftsmanship and association." – National Register Nomination

The house is well-maintained and continues to serve as a private residence and also as an antique shop.
