Description and history

The one story house is 29 feet (8.8 m) wide and 50 feet (15 m) deep facing southwest. The architecture displays elements of American Craftsman bungalow and Western Stick styles. An off center porch extends across three quarters of the facade wrapping around the western side. Just to the east of the front entrance is the rear of a fireplace and chimney which extends piercing the extended gable east of its peak. The gable walls are stuccoed and the roof plan is complex with cross gables and a low shed roof covering the porch.[4]

It was designed by owners Bert and Fay Havens and built my stonemason Fred Kilgore of Hazelton, Idaho in 1927. The stone was brought across a frozen Lake Wilson by Bert Havens with horse teams. In addition to the stone work Kilgore also did most of the exterior carpentry. Much of the interior carpentry was designed and executed by Fay Havens.[4]
