It has rough-cut masonry on two street-facing sides and shingle cladding elsewhere.","why_significant":"The house is regarded as a unique contribution to Warren County architecture, blending English country manor character with Richardsonian Romanesque features. It is also tied to J. P. Jefferson, a local industrialist and philanthropist who lived there and later gave it to the YWCA.","narrative":"Built in 1890 in Warren, this three-story house combines rough-cut masonry on its two street-facing sides with dark stained shingles elsewhere. Its steeply hipped roof, four tall chimneys, and semi-circular front turret give each side a different appearance. Christian Uhdey, a prominent Warren builder, constructed it. Its interior includes oak floors, carved oak woodwork in the hall, and a massive fireplace. Alterations after 1900, possibly by local architect E. A. Phillips, added a rear chimney and raised roof sections without greatly changing the exterior. Thomas Struthers's former secretary J. P. Jefferson, a local industrialist and philanthropist, lived here for many years. He later gave the house to the YWCA in 1919, which owned it for 63 years. Recent restoration preserved much of the original fabric.","period_of_significance":"1890-1919","architect_builder":"Christian Uhdey (builder); original architect unknown; later alterations attributed to E.
