Harry & Lola Jackson House

442 West Main Street

Built: 1916

Style: Craftsman

Harry and Lola Jackson built this home and resided there until 1941. The Jacksons were married in September 1891 and were avid members of the Wabash Christian Church, where Mr. Jackson served as a trustee. He was active in the Wabash community and belonged to the Elks Lodge and Rotary International of Wabash.

This home is an excellent example of a Craftsman-style bungalow. Its low-pitched side-gabled roof, central shed dormer supported by simple squared piers, and exposed rafter ends are very common to the style. Other typical features include its three-over-one window glazing and the partial-width porch supported by a square column and contained under the main roof.
