Higginbotham House, 1907, Twin City

This is a textbook example of Queen Anne architecture and a beautifully maintained landmark in Twin City. I’ve seen several with this form and wonder if it is not from a pattern book. There were numerous such “blueprint” publications used by skilled carpenters to build on-demand homes for wealthier clients. As a result, many have been identified but I don’t think this one has. George Barber was perhaps the most prolific producers of Victorian pattern books.

This house was built in 1907 by Jefferson Davis Durden but has long been known as the Higginbotham House.
