The Joseph E. Hall House is a privately owned residential house located at 210 South Oneida Street in the city of Tecumseh in Lenawee County, Michigan. It was designated as a Michigan State Historic State and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 13, 1986.[1][2] It is located just around the corner from the George J. Kempf House.
History
The house was built in as early as 1870 for Joseph E. Hall, a local jeweler and instrument maker. It was designed and constructed by Salmon Crane, who was a leading architect in Tecumseh in the second half of the nineteenth century. Hall and his family lived here until 1882, when it was purchased by Sylvester Erskine, a barber and saloon keeper.[3]
Description
The house was designed in the style mix of Italianate and Late Victorian architecture. It is a modestly sized brick house, typical of those built in the area at the time. It is noted for its irregular L-shaped design, which features a square tower located between the arms of the L. The house has widely projecting eaves supported by simple paired brackets. Window openings in the main section have segmental-arch heads without caps, while in the tower they have round heads and corbelled brick caps. A hip-roof, brick-pier porch wraps around the front of the house and part of one side.[2][3]
