Ralph E. Burley House, Colonial Revival residence in Lebanon, United States.
The Ralph E. Burley House is a one-and-a-half-story residential building with a distinctive wraparound front porch supported by round wooden columns. Its floor plan follows an irregular layout typical of Colonial Revival design from that era.
Architect Henry H. Hohenschild designed this house in 1904 when Colonial Revival style was popular among affluent families. The design shows how early 1900s homes blended traditional American architectural elements with contemporary living standards.
The house is named for Ralph E. Burley, the Lebanon resident for whom it was built in 1904. Its Colonial Revival design by Henry H. Hohenschild places it among the early 20th-century homes of Lebanon, and the wraparound porch with round wooden columns remains the feature a visitor notices first from the street.
The house is located in a residential neighborhood on South Adams Avenue in Lebanon and is easy to explore on foot. Since it is a private property, visitors can view the exterior from the street but should respect the private grounds.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 for its importance as a local example of Colonial Revival architecture. This recognition shows that thoughtfully designed residential homes from this period are valued in modern historic preservation efforts.
