This English Tudor cottage is an attractive example of the style that was popular between 1915 and 1935. English Tudor is a term used generically to refer to the timber-frame architecture of medieval England, in which the wall structure is made of heavy timbers with the spaces between filled in with various materials and covered with plaster. American examples of this style were built to visually simulate those English building techniques, and are distinguished by an asymmetrical facade, steeply pitched gable roof, stucco walls, diamond-pane lights (side windows), and tall casement windows with numerous small lights.
The original owners of this Tudor cottage home, built in 1929, were Pierce and Lillian K. Norton. Pierce was the assistant manager of the Mutual Coal and Lumber Company and lived in the Elizabeth Apartments before building this home. He is later listed as lumberman in the Polk City Directory. The Pierces lived in the home until 1962. After they left the home was often listed as vacant in the city directory. In 1979 Michael E. Miller, a recruiter for the United States Air Force, lived here and students Bruce and Sherry Jensen lived in the basement.
