Van Cise House

-A A +A
1892, George F. Barber. 603 E. Monroe St.

This is a somewhat calmer version of the Queen Anne than either the Crane house ( ME334) or the Ball house ( ME323). The centerpiece of the Van Cise house is the corner bay tower, which starts out as a rectangular volume covered by a shed roof; above this is a five-sided window bay and finally a high conical roof. The architect provided the client with a full set of working drawings for this house.
