A. Walsh House

A. Walsh House, 915 5th Avenue South; 1893-1897; g. L. LeVeille, Builder (first contractor).A large, two and one-half story house, it now has been converted to multi-family use. The house design epitomizes the exuberance of the Queen Anne Style with a variety of materials, texture, and massing. The house construction was started by contractor G. L. LeVeille for his own home. LeVeille was the contractor of the County Court House, and used the same kind of stone for both the court house and his own home. However, LeVeille had difficulties with the construction of the court house, and he abandoned that project along with his own house; it was said that he fled to Canada. The unfinished house was sold later to A. Walsh.
