 D-1  332 EAST ADAMS STREET DATE: 1901-1902 ARCHITECT & BUILDER: Unknown In
the decades before and after the 1901 Fire,
much of Downtown was occupied by residences.
Today, this is one of the few remaining houses in the heart of
Downtown.
It was built soon after the Great Fire by hardware dealer J.
B. Bours, as a replacement for his house destroyed by the
fire. The house is a good example of the late Queen Anne
style,
typified by its asymmetrical massing, decorative wooden
scrollwork,
shingles in the gables, and the paneled chimney.
Contributing to the restrained but formal facade are the
dentilled
cornice, Palladian window in the gable, and Doric
columns.
This house is an important reminder of the residential
flavor that once existed in Downtown.
