From the National Register nomination

Located at one of the highest points on Main Street and at the southwest comer of the intersection of Main and Church, this former dwelling is a prominent fixture along the streetscape. The building 1s set on a large residential lot with concrete block and stone retaining walls, mature and recently planted omamental shrubs and trees, and a rear entry drive leading to a porte cochere attached to the rear elevation of the house. The two-story, three-bay stuccoed frame building incorporates traditional features such as six-over-six and eight-over-eight double-hung sash, a hipped roof, hipped dormers, and a one-story, single-bay entry porch with square wood columns. The main block 1s flanked by one-story wings housing a conservatory-like sunroom on the east side and a kitchen on the west side. The building's original address was 604 W. Main Street. Occupant in 1935 was Dr. Ernest Mosby. In 1951 the building served as a lodge for a local fraternal group.
