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.

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.

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.
