In 1856, Dr. William T. Baskett contracted with local builder Richard Sanders to begin the house at the corner of East College and North Academy streets. The Italianate-style Baskett House shows a mix of traditional classical features and fashionable details including bracketed eaves, arched windows and entryway, pilasters, and pediment. The Neoclassical wraparound porch was added ca. 1910, before its purchase by the Women’s Club in 1918.
