T.C. Davis Manor (Farmington, Minnesota)

USA / Minnesota / Farmington / Farmington, Minnesota / Oak Street, 520
 house, historical building

This two story, frame suburban cottage with Queen Anne Style detailing, has an irregular plan with a pyramidal hip roof, dormers, bay windows, and a square tower or cupola. The house built in 1875, shows the influence of the Queen Anne Style in its multiple roof forms, asymmetrical massing, interconnected interior and exterior spaces, tall windows with large panes of glass, and the distinctive three story tower with its mansard roof. The tower, for example, is square rather than round or hexagonal and is capped by a concave (bell-cast) mansard rather than a conical “witch’s hat” roof commonly seen on Queen Anne cottages.
