Lumaree-Adams House

106 North Miami Street

Built: c. 1900

Style: Colonial Revival

Cornelius and Lida Lumaree lived in the residence from its construction until 1932. The property then changed hands six times before it was occupied by J. Warren and Irene Adams, who lived there through the 1950s and 1960s. Mrs. Adams was a clerk at Thompson Electric Store, and Mr. Adams, a painter, served in World War I. He later became a charter member and commander of the American Legion of Wabash and a member of the Elks Lodge.

Loosely based on vernacular Colonial houses of the 18th century, this home is a nice example of an average citizen's residence. Architectural features include a side-gabled roof, cornice emphasized by a wide band of trim comprised of undecorated boards, small frieze-band windows set into this trim, and a small front porch supported by slender spandrels and pilasters.
