==Description and history==
The Jordan House is set on the southern fringe of what has long been a fashionable neighborhood of Auburn, just south of its central business district. It is a three story wood frame structure, with a mansard roof over the third floor, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. The main facade faces south, and is three bays wide, with a central projecting bay that rises a full three stories with a mansard roof top. The house has a wealth of exterior decorative woodwork, including an elaborately-decorated porch across the front. The main roof and porch cornices are both detailed with brackets, and the window surrounds also feature projecting cornices with small brackets. The corners of the building are quoined on the first floor, and then pilastered to the roof line. The tower features an elaborately-hooded window in the third floor, with arched cornices on each side above, and oriel windows in the steeply sloping mansard roof.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Charles A.
