514 3rd Street

Built in 1897 by George Angle, this home is one of the most imposing and classy homes on a street chock full of Victorians. Like many of the historic homes in Belvidere, this one retains its origianl Queen Anne facade. The Northwind carving on the northeast gable cannot help but catch the eye. The tower rising above the porch, second story integral window, and oriel (projecting) window on the east facade are all typical features of the style, but outfitted in all white, the features are enhanced and drawn together into a cohesive whole. Another unique Queen Anne detail is the third story tower windows with a large lower pane and smaller diagonal panes above. The curved porch is an invitation to truly relax and enjoy the surroundings.
