It cites its detailed reproduction of the catalog style and its fine preservation, along with its potential for architectural research.","narrative":"Built in 1899 at 762 Park Avenue in Meadville, the Roueche House is a two and one-half story frame Queen Anne residence with multi-gabled and hipped roofs. The local Meadville builders, the Roueche brothers and Albert A. Huttelmayer, erected it as a full-size model of their building advertisement, reflecting a period when many local builders sold complete houses from catalog designs. The house combines brick, clapboard, fish-scale shingles and pebble-dash panels. Its most distinctive feature is a large curved brick chimney at the front corner, which has a round-arched window set into it. A three-story hexagonal tower, round porch and ornate balconies with spindles and brackets complete the exterior. Interior woodwork in oak and maple repeats a bulls-eye block pattern, and several rooms have stained and beveled glass windows and corner fireplaces with firetile. The house is valued for its detailed reproduction of the catalog style and for its well-preserved condition.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"The Roueche brothers and Albert A.
