William Lang's flowery stone detailing embellishes this three-story rusticated rhyolite domicile with trim of Indiana limestone, which is much easier to carve than rhyolite. A fanciful, if superfluous, colonnette supports the keystone of the transom arch on the parlor window beside the carved golden oak entry. On the north side, in another typical Lang detail, stone trim frames a round, stained glass window above two round-arched openings whose awkward junction is disguised with a baroque bouquet in limestone.

This Richardsonian Romanesque edifice, built for $40,000, features exquisite stonework even for the nine limestone chimney pots. Rough stone balustrades crown the porch and the southwest corner tower. With a two-story 1920 addition, the house and carriage house were converted to thirty-one apartments. Restored in 1989 as a bed and breakfast, it is one of the finest of many elegant structures in the Wyman Addition, a large, mixed-use local landmark district stretching roughly from York Street to Franklin Street between East 13th and East 17th avenues.
