“William Bradshaw a carpenter, built this house for himself in 1891. It is an excellent example of exuberant ornamentation that was popular in the late Victorian era, here rendered in wood. Four different type of shingles are used to provide surface texturing, in addition to decoration brackets and struts, and vertical Stick strapping. The massing of the house is complex, with a projecting front gable cantilevered over a semi-octagonal bay, and jerked in headed roof.”
