Frank G. Edwards House

The Frank G. Edwards House, built in eighteen eighty-three, stands out on this block because it is set back from the street. Most houses in this densely developed neighborhood were built flush against the sidewalk to maximize limited lot space. This house includes a front yard and an original brick retaining wall, features that were rare when it was first constructed. Its design is an example of a transitional, flat-front Italianate style, which bridged the gap between earlier Victorian forms and the emerging stick style architecture of the era.
