Description
The John Michels House is an asymmetrical, 2-1/2 story Queen Anne-style house with a gable and hipped roof.[2] The exterior was originally lapsided with wood siding, but is now covered with cedar shingles. A gabled pediment and conical tower delineate the roofline, and the house is roofed in asphalt shingles. A circular porch wraps around the first story, supported by round wooden columns and accented with beaded spindle work.[2]
