It shows Queen Anne stylistic features.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a prominent example of a substantial suburban Queen Anne residence of late nineteenth century Glens Falls. It is one of a small group of intact houses from that period near the city's northern limits. It was also the home of Addison B. Colvin, a distinguished newspaper publisher, banker, politician and philanthropist who served as New York State treasurer from 1894 to 1898.","narrative":"Built around 1890 near the northern edge of Glens Falls, this large, rambling, L-shaped frame house at 453-455 Glen Street was the residence of Addison B. Colvin. It exhibits Queen Anne features: clapboard walls separated by bands of staggered shingles, a steeply pitched wood shingle roof broken by cross gables and dormers, two tall corbeled brick chimneys, bay windows and projecting bays. A wraparound porch rests on stone piers; the present Colonial Revival porches replaced earlier ones about 1900. Around 1940 the interior was divided into apartments, yet the paneled entrance door, tiled vestibule, paneled walls, boxed ceiling beams and ornate staircase remain. A large carriage barn was demolished in the 1940s. The house is valued as an intact example of local Queen Anne design and as the home of Colvin, a newspaper editor and publisher, banker, college and library trustee, and state treasurer from 1894 to 1898.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Converted to multi-family apartments around 1940; condition listed as fair to deteriorated, though many original interior features survive.
