STICK STYLE, ca. 1870 - ca. 1900 The Stick style is characterized by the widespread use of decorative milled detailing and varying uses of wood
wall surfaces. These dwellings are similar in form to the Queen Anne style and generally have high pitched
gable roofs and asymmetrical floor plans. Large porches are common with decorative railings, turned columns,
and applied vergeboard or spindles. Second floor balconies and bay windows are also characteristics of this
style. Windows and doors often have decorative glass and surrounds. Eaves are embellished with milled
woodwork such as brackets, sunburst designs, and attached vergeboard. Other examples of this style are
located at 126 Hill Avenue and 730 Douglas Avenue.
