By the 1890s, the style was very popular on the East Coast, but Still largely Unknown in Indiana. Workers in Philadelphia Precut Lumber for the Home and sent it by rail to Orleans, where a crew of carpenters sent along with the materials completed assembly. Because of its high-style origins, the house featured and retains many fine architectural elements unexpected in a small-town Indiana home of the period.
