1508 Laurel Street

Completed about 1900, this Queen Anne style house features the multiple gables, wrap-around porch, and decorative elements expected in residences within that architectural movement. This form of home proved popular for turn-of-the-century Columbians of means living within the city’s original downtown and in its early suburbs.
