Holmes-Tallman House, Historic house in Monroe Township, United States.
The Holmes-Tallman House is a residential building in Monroe Township featuring a three-story main section with a two-story rear wing and prominent Italianate design elements throughout. The structure includes a square cupola and decorative brackets below the eaves as characteristic details.
The house was built around 1860 by Francis Holmes as a reflection of construction practices of that time. Jacob B. Tallman purchased the property in 1870 and brought the structure into a new phase of its ownership history.
The residence reflects mid-19th century architectural tastes through its tall narrow windows and ornamental details under the eaves. These features show how people of that era chose to decorate and structure their homes.
The property is located at the intersection of County Route 535 and County Route 522 and sits on two acres of land. The street location makes it easy to find and approach when visiting the area.
The one-story porch features detailed eyelet jigsaw work that runs across the front and both sides of the building. This fine decorative carpentry is a handcrafted element that visitors often overlook when viewing the exterior.
