This home, located on the corner of North Main Street and Clinton Street, is a fine example of the Queen Anne style of architecture. It was built in 1881 for the William Kellogg family, and was designed by Archimedes Russell, a well-known architect from Syracuse. His fondness for the sunflower symbol, typical of the 1880′s, is prominently featured on the gables of the house, the side entry door, the main staircase, and even the weathervane. Many original features still exist, including beautiful stained glass windows, parquet floors, fantastic woodwork, five working fireplaces, and two indoor “inhouses” (as opposed to “outhouses”)
Victorian Eastlake or Stick Style 1860-1890 Stick Style is not so much as an architectural style as a decorative one. Stick style houses are tall with steep roofs and broad eaves supported by brackets. Their main characteristic is the use of the wall surface as a decorative element, with horizontal, vertical, and diagonal linear stylistic facings
