The William Carmer House is a single-family home located at 10448 Washburn Road in Ortonville, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

History

[edit]

William Carmer moved from Erie County, New York to this area in 1844. It is unclear when he constructed this house.[2]

Description

[edit]

The William Carmer House consists of two rectangular masses: a small single-story section and a larger one-and-one-half-story section. The sections are joined at a corner, suggesting that the building was constructed in two stages. The larger section has Classical detailing such as the framed entrance, fluted corner pilasters, a wide frieze, and a cornice with returns.[2]
