It was built in 1912 by local builder Nathan W. Easterly.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a good, largely unaltered example of early twentieth-century Queen Anne Revival residential architecture in Lebanon and Russell County. It is one of the few remaining Queen Anne style houses in the town and retains its red oak interior woodwork. It was also an early house in the Church Street neighborhood and was later home to longtime attorney Stephen B. Quillen.","narrative":"Built in 1912 on a corner lot in one of Lebanon's original neighborhoods, this two-story wood frame house sits on a rusticated limestone foundation and shows the Queen Anne Revival style through a steep hipped roof with lower cross gables, angled bay corners and a wraparound porch with classical columns. Inside, a central hall holds a red oak staircase, oak floors, pocket doors in the two front parlors and four coal-burning fireplaces. Local lumber mill owner Nathan W. Easterly built it as a speculative venture. In 1918 attorney Stephen B. Quillen bought it for $8,000; he served as mayor and Commonwealth Attorney and practiced law in Russell County until 1965. His heirs rented the house until 1988, and it then sat unoccupied until 2000. It is recognized for its architecture, as one of few surviving Queen Anne houses in town, and for its largely intact interior and exterior, with a period of significance of 1912 to 1951.","period_of_significance":"1912-1951","architect_builder":"Easterly, Nathan W.","architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Queen Anne (Queen Anne Revival)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historically in use as a single dwelling; unoccupied but minimally maintained from 1988 to 2000, after which new owners bought it intending to make it their residence.
