Edwin T. Gardner House 629 N. 6th 1900

Edward T. Gardner was born January 05, 1861 in Burlington, Iowa. He was the son of ET and Louisa Webster gardener. On June 01, 1900 he joined with E C Gould and formed Gartner in Gould company who manufactured candies and sold confectioners' supplies. The business was located in third Street and Elm. This house was originally a two-story frame Queen Anne structure. The home features a Polygonal turret on the northeast corner, a multi-gabled roofline, a second-floor curved bay front, one first floor bay on the north side, and an oriel window on the east: all contributing to the asymmetrical appearance of the home. The home has been considerably modified. The front porch has been enclosed and the entire house has been covered with a blond brick veneer.
