Revision 1985
This typical, vernacular Queen Anne style house retains high integrity, and
is an important element in the streetscape due to its large size. Some time
between 1892 and 1900, Joseph L. Staats, a lawyer moved into the house and remained
until about 1910. By 1904, Staats ran a law, real estate, loan and insurance
company, and had Guy H. Hinds, a dentist, as a boarder. By 1910, Staats had
moved to 725 S. 3rd Avenue. Undocumented information on the 1984 inventory
indicates that the house was designed by architect John Johnson (listed in no
city directories) , and built by and for A.J. Hemphill. The house does not,
however, appear to be architect-designed.
