This asymetrical Queen Anne Style home was built c.1892 by Washington attorney and County Commissioner, William M. Sims.

The adjoining kitchen with dining area and breakfast bar is open and airy, flooded with natural sunlight from oversized windows. A cozy den nearby with fireplace is accented by exposed ceiling beams. The graceful staircase is located in the center of the home in a delightful foyer that seems to connect the front and rear sections of the home and compliment its flow. A wide double door opening looks from the stair hall into the formal dining room.
