| Narrative Description |
The Joseph Annin house is a two-story, brick, Italianate style structure sitting on a 4.37 acre lot. The five-bay facade contains a central entrance portico. Matching chimneys protrude from the north edges of the hipped roof, which was once capped by a belvedere. A wooden board-and-batten-sided barn/carriage house with a gabled roof and shed addition sits behind and north of the residence at the end of a long driveway.
|
| Statement of Significance |
The Joseph Annin House is a sophisticated structure and perhaps the finest example of Italianate style in Saline. The 1874 Everts and Stewert Illustrated Atlas drawing of the property reveals the remarkable architectural integrity of this building, the only exceptions being the removal of the belvedere and original porch, and a shed-roofed addition to the barn.
