Kellogg Residence

The 1887 Kellogg's brick Queen Anne house was designed with many of the characteristics of the style, but with comparatively little ornamental detail. The three-story structure has a hipped roof with two intersecting gable roofs, a turret, and several dormers, circular and rectilinear. The multiple two-story bays protrude beyond the confines of the brick façade. Medina sandstone lintels and sills define the double-hung windows throughout the structure.

Ornamentation is restricted to Medina sandstone corbels, finials, and gable roof trim, brick relief detailing at the roof and sculptural chimney, and terra cotta panels at the front elevation. Stained glass and leaded glass were utilized throughout the building. The medina sandstone lintels and terra cotta details break up the monolithic forms in the building.  Many of the Queen Anne houses in the area are wood frame and siding, which allow for more ornamentation to be incorporated in the exterior elevations.
