Description

The house at 1975 West 15th Avenue was built in 1911 and is a good example of Edwardian architecture constructed in the Arts and Craft style popular at the time. The property was purchased by Jean Kay Macken in 1912 and the Macken family resided in the house for over 50 years. ‘The Macken Residence’ was one of the first ‘Talton Place’ residences to be built and is valued for its surviving details including scroll-cut brackets, decorated balustrades, quatrefoil “punch outs”, and pointed-arch porches. It is one of the last ‘Talton Place’ houses to remain visibly intact on West 15th Avenue.
