Built as a gabled-ell cottage between 1883 and 1888, this house was greatly enlarged and remodeled to its present appearance in the 1920’s for Mrs. E. C. Kelly, Sr. It’s located near the other Kelly House, also a local landmark, and the old Monticello High School. I think Mrs. Kelly was going for a Neoclassical-inspired Colonial Revival look. The 6 over 6 dormer windows are an unusual feature, as is the extra-wide transom.

Impressive house, I love it.
