South Division Street 117 Clarence W. Jackman 1885 This handsome Queen Anne house, one of the city's best examples of the style, was built for a partner in the Janesville Carriage Works. The building rests on a rusticated limestone foundation and is constructed of cream brick and shingle-covered frame. A variety of patterned shingles were used to add texture to the exterior. 215 Matthew M. Fardy 1895 The influence of furniture designer Charles Locke Eastlake is evident at the circular porch carried by bulbous turned posts; such features were often applied to the Queen Anne style house. Sunburst motifs in the overhanging gables of the third floor and a balcony are also of note. This plan can be attributed to those published by architect George F. Barber. 216 Charles Sutherland 1911 Typical of the well-detailed small houses built in the district between ca. 1910 and 1920, this bungalow has exposed rafter ends, applied half-timbering, and knee-brace brackets. Sutherland, a physician, resided here until 1931. The carriage house at the rear was originally built for 220 E. Van Buren. 26
