Queen Anne Meets English Gothic on the 4200 Block of Spruce St.

The intricately designed Queen Anne-gingerbread row houses at 4206–18 Spruce St. (right) architected by the Hewitt Brothers, 1889, were built at roughly the same time as the corner house next door—a “combination English Gothic–Queen Anne” built for Clarence H. Clark Jr. at 4200 Spruce. Clark Jr.’s house stood on the downslope opposite his father’s estate.
