Sanford-Tew House, c. 1896. Queen Anne Victorian style with its asymmetrical façade, decorative shingle siding, turnings, and fretwork. The steeply gabled front has a distinctive 17 lite over 1 lite double hung wood sash with ornate trim in the upper third story/attic area which is surrounded by bevel cut wood shingles. There are a few elements of the Victorian stick style at the second-floor level with intermittent wood trim boards framing sections of wood clapboard, and carved sunburst panels above the two center windows. A full front porch with fretwork connecting turned wood posts and brackets covers two entrances to this duplex home.

Tew, an English immigrant.Tew worked for the Upson Nut Company, which was purchased by Bourne-Fuller, later to become part of Republic Steel.
