It is a two-and-a-half-story timber frame Queen Anne style house on a stone foundation.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a locally important example of the Queen Anne style, built with quality craftsmanship and retaining much of its original interior and exterior detail. It is also significant as a large, ornate home built by a church congregation rather than a wealthy businessman, reflecting the prosperity of the congregation during Wilcox's timber and tannery boom.","narrative":"Built in 1901 by the Swedish Lutheran congregation of Wilcox, this timber frame house on Kane Street sits beside the church it served. It is an asymmetrical Queen Anne residence with a wraparound porch supported by seven Doric columns, bay windows, a second-story projecting bay, and octagonal shingles on the gables. Its interior includes an oak-paneled entryway, pocket doors, an ornately carved oak mantel, and a jeweled stained glass window above the staircase, and the house holds eight stained glass windows in total. The nomination argues it is significant as a locally important Queen Anne residence with quality craftsmanship. Local mills in Ridgway supplied the intricate woodwork of this style. The house is also notable as a large, ornate home built by a church rather than a wealthy businessman, and it served as the pastor's residence and church business office for decades. Enclosed porches and a deck on the southeast corner were later additions, and the house has kept its integrity.","period_of_significance":"1901","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Retains integrity; asphalt roof shingles replaced original in 1955; used as a single-family dwelling; a sewing room is noted in the second-floor enclosed porch.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:10:27.340299-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/05000099.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000099/74668e7592-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000099/74668e7592-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Swedish_Lutheran_Parsonage_Jun_09.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Swedish_Lutheran_Parsonage_Jun_09.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996000","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Lutheran_Parsonage_(Wilcox,_Pennsylvania)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7654744"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/elk-county/swedish-lutheran-parsonage-05000099/"}
