This beautiful home shows how the term “Victorian Eclectic” is less a distinct style than a term used to identify buildings that show a combination of elements from styles that were popular between 1885 and 1910. The porch, with its columns and pediment design, are Neoclassical features. Elements of the home that put it in the Victorian Eclectic category include the irregular plan with asymmetrical façade and roof silhouette, arched window openings, and leaded/stained-glass transom windows.
This house was built in 1904 by Joseph Edmund Page, an attorney who had an office at 13-14 Knight. He died that year, but his wife Alice Gertrude Thurman Page continued to live in the home. She went back to school to support her family and then taught at the Maeser School for another thirty years. Gertie still lived in the home in 1961. When she was older, her daughter LaVerne P. and her husband Elmer L. Kammermeyer moved in to help care for her. When LaVerne was older and a widow, her family members moved in and cared for her. LaVerne still lived in the home in 1979. In 1985, A. J. Harris, a mechanic at Washburn Motors, lived in the home. The current owners have lived in the home for almost eight years.
