Julius Greef House

-A A +A
1867. 2nd St., 2 blocks west of Bridge St., just north of the railroad tracks

The general verticality of its design, plus its bracketed roof, places the Greef house within the late Italianate mode. The pair of pointed arches of the entrance porch have a Gothic ring, while the corner two-story bay on the right of the entrance seems to anticipate the Eastlake and Queen Anne styles of the 1870s and later.
