Description and history

The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1881 by Winand Toussaint, a Belgian immigrant who worked in the furniture business, and may have been the designer of the house. It is an architecturally eclectic work, with elements of Second Empire (the mansard roof), Stick style, and Gothic Revival. The house has a cupola, and perhaps most distinctively, the house's corners are chamfered, with the main entrance at one of the angled ends.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.[1]
