A recently-arrived contractor from Riverside, Carl Anderson, built the Stewart House and probably the one next door in 1904. Of transitional architecture, the house combines classic form gables, cornice returns and frieze band with Victorian elements, including bays, upper-story patterned shingles, colored-glass borders in the stairway window, spindlework gable decoration and a cutout design on the porch frieze. These Queen Anne features a found on several transitional houses—gablet cottages, classic-gable houses, and even hipped-roof forerunners of Craftsman architecture. This house and its neighbor on the south are simplified expressions of that exuberant style and might be described as a “Workingman’s Queen Anne.” Hugh B. Stewart was a teacher, principal and superintendent in the local schools for many years; the school at 16th and J was named in his honor in 1952.
