One of Altoona's few examples of Richardsonian Romanesque style architecture is at 2600 Broad Avenue. A ca. 1890 rock-faced sandstone residence, it has a round tower capped by an elaborate set of third floor windows and a conical roof. This particularly fine neighborhood landmark residence has an especially elaborate and well preserved wrap-around front porch.
