"This roomy dwelling in the historic district has two floors of bedroom space and details like wood floors, beamed ceilings, and stained glass. With a deep wraparound porch, a trio of dormers, and a shingled exterior, this early 20th century single-family exudes a welcoming street presence. On the interior, the roomy dwelling at 561 East 17th Street has wood floors, mantels, beamed ceilings, stained glass, and a pass-through, among other details."
"It is one of multiple houses in the district designed by Arlington D. Isham, whom the designation report describes as one of the "most prolific and one of the finest architects to work in the district." In this case, Isham designed the house for frequent client Harry Grattan. Plans for multiple houses were filed by the duo in 1905 and 1906 - and this Colonial Revival-style dwelling dates to 1906."
"Both parlors have wood floors and picture rails, while the larger of the two has a white mantel with swagged ornament and original tile and insert. The larger parlor opens into the dining room with its heavier woodwork, including a beamed ceiling, wainscoting, and a large mantel with a green tile surround. It's just missing some impressive Lincrusta panels between the pilaster-framed panels that surround the room."
