USA XV

The Hertich home at 302 W. Adams mixes classic elements of Queen Anne architecture with influences of the American Four Square. Built in 1905, the exterior is covered with original narrow clapboard and has a wraparound porch with decorated wooden columns and a massive oak front door with beveled glass and matching side panels. There are two matching sets of bay windows. Inside, an open wide oak stairway winds to the second floor. The home is actually a perfect square with the same amount of area upstairs and downstairs.
