Architecture
Van Buren Homestead and Garden is a charming two-story single-family residence that has retained much of its original character since its construction in 1902. The house is a unique blend of transitional styles, combining ornate Victorian forms with the more natural and horizontal features of the Craftsman style. Over the last 110 years, the house has undergone few changes, preserving its historical significance and authenticity.
