Turner House, American historic house
Turner House is a two-story single-family home built in the early 1900s in Colonial Revival style. It features a prominent front porch with Ionic columns, a gabled roof, wooden clapboard siding, and symmetrically arranged windows on its brick foundation.
Built around 1904, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Its construction coincided with the height of Colonial Revival popularity in the region, when homeowners sought designs that echoed early American architecture.
The house carries the Turner name from a local family. The symmetrical front with evenly spaced windows and classical columns reflects the taste for formal design that was valued in the early 1900s.
The house is easily spotted from the street in a quiet residential neighborhood near the Governor's Mansion Historic District. It can be viewed from outside, but remains private property, so viewing should be done respectfully from the public right-of-way.
An unexpected round turret in one corner adds a Victorian touch to an otherwise symmetrical Colonial Revival design. This blend of styles shows how early 1900s architects merged different influences into homes that felt both familiar and distinctive.
