1899; 1914 remodeled. 401 W. Louisiana St.
A radical makeover transformed this house from Queen Anne to Prairie Style. Newsome, the owner of a grocery business, gradually remodeled the house, removing the original three-story tower and porch. The ground floor was clad in orange-red brick, and a new wraparound porch with stout, square masonry columns and cast-stone capitals was added. Two brick columns at the front entrance penetrate the porch roof to mark a second-floor terrace. Only the thin, vertical window proportions on the second floor betray its earlier stylistic origin.
