This Italianate villa, set on a hill northwest of the town square, was built for Stoburgh, who moved to Honey Grove in 1859 and established the city’s first bank. The two-story house has a compact, symmetrical box shape and a low-pitched hipped roof with a square belvedere. Projecting bays on each side of the first-floor entrance porch culminate in pediments aligning with the bracketed roof cornice. Hooded crowns over framed windows complete the Italianate composition.
