Louis Sawyer House
The Louis Sawyer House is a historic residence in the city of Wyoming, Ohio, United States. Erected at the turn of the twentieth century, it was originally the home of an important lawyer, and it has been designated a historic site because of its architecture.
==Architecture==
Three stories tall, the Sawyer House consists of shingled walls built on a stone foundation and covered with an asphalt roof. Among its features is a tower on one corner; it extends through all three stories, and it is topped with a steep roof rising to a point. Numerous shuttered windows occupy much of the wall area, including some window space in the front gable.〔(Sawyer, Louis, House ), Ohio Historical Society, 2007. Accessed 2013-12-02.〕 The main entrance is located on the right side of the facade, across from the tower; deeply recessed, it is framed with sidelights and a pair of columns. Extending across the entire facade, including the base of the tower, is a veranda-style porch with Ionic columns. All of these features combine to make it one of metro Cincinnati's best examples of the Shingle variant of the Queen Anne style of architecture. Virtually no changes have been made to the house's exterior since it was built, making it an exceptionally well preserved example of the style. Another such house, the Josiah Kirby House, is located in the same Wyoming neighborhood, but its substantially larger size makes it a mansion, unlike the smaller Sawyer House.〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed.
