Description and history

This 2+1⁄2-story, wood-framed house was built in 1873 by William L. White for his son. The Whites were prominent local carriage builders. The house is locally significant as one of the city's largest and most elaborate examples of the Second Empire style of architecture, adorned with a flared mansard roof decorated in patterned slate, and a wraparound porch supported by clustered Tuscan columns.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984.[1]
