Like other residences built when West Main Street was Norwalk’s most fashionable neighborhood, the Sturges-Kennan-Fulstow House is a transitional Federal-Greek Revival building. The wood-framed structure has a full-width front porch with four octagonal columns, two stories high, and is topped by a denticulated pediment containing a large elliptical sunburst. It was built by William C. Meade, a Huron County architect-builder and the grandfather of noted Cleveland architect Frank B. Meade. Meade also designed the nearby Vredenburgh-Gardiner House.
