History
[edit]Frank L. Chenoweth, a wealthy local merchant and the son of early resident Benjamin Chenoweth, built the house in 1888-89. The two-and-a-half story house has a Queen Anne design featuring a wraparound front porch with ornamental spindlework, a pediment with a sunburst design above the entrance, and a projecting bay topped by a large bracketed pediment with a matching sunburst. The complex roof includes a cornice and patterned frieze and is topped by a three-story octagonal tower with a spire. Chenoweth was socially prominent in Monroe, and he hosted many large parties and gatherings at his house.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.[3]
