Nellie C. Bailey House

Built in 1919, this home is an excellent example of a Prairie style bungalow. The home was built for Nellie Bailey, who had lived with her family for many years in the large Victorian home to the North. Like many of her time, she wanted a home with modern amenities, and had one built on her own property. The house has many elements common to the Arts & Crafts and Prairie style.

The home has horizontal bands of brick and stucco surrounding the home, with casement windows set within those bands. The hip roof features large overhanging eaves and a low-angled pitch. Like many bungalows, it features a large front porch which covers the entire front of the home.

Inside, the home is a collection of beautiful woodwork. Gumwood trim, in horizontal bands, was used in the living room and dining room. Quarter-Sawn Oak, Maple, and Vertical-Grain Douglas Fir, are used in other parts of the home. The home has been owned by three families since Nellie Bailey.
