This historic Queen Anne was built between 1870 and 1895. Through the years it has had some major changes. During the summer of 1999, the Raymers did an extensive exterior restoration to this building. The aluminum siding, that was most likely installed in the early 60's, was removed. Detailwork that had been removed was recrafted and reinstalled personally by Mr. Raymer and attractive "Victorian Era" porches and entry roofs were added. The summer of 1999 shined on this beautiful Painted Lady as she was brought back to her original glory.
The building is half way up Historic Ninth Street Hill. An active neighborhood association exists which has helped maintain the historic integrity of this beautiful neighborhood.
As a result of the restoration of this Queen Anne home, on May 21 of 2000, the Raymers were honored by receiving the "Founder's Day Preservation Award" from the Tippecanoe County Historical Association for their "outstanding effort toward the preservation of Historic Architecture in Tippecanoe County."
