747 6^th St.

    This Queen Anne style brick home was built around 1850.  It consisted of  the rear first floor and cellar.  About 1870 the middle section, bay windows, and second floor were added.  In 1906 the front of the house, turret, and third floor were added and the entrance was moved to Sixth Street.  On the southeast is a circular projecting 3-story tower.  It appears to be of a different brick, but continues the window motifs, except that the concrete has a sill course, and there is a soldier course connecting the hoods.  The west façade has a gable dormer, is 2 bays wide and has 2-story frame porch which has chamfered posts, brackets, and lattice work.  Buildings along both sides of this block form a cohesive quality due to site and the many large residences built in the Italianate and Queen Anne styles.  They form one facet of the wealthy residential area which was located in Boonville.  This structure has local significance due to the fact that it is an integral part of this block and a pivotal point in the district.
