C.J. Green House
Description
The Curtis J. Green House is a 2½-storey house constructed in 1893 in the Queen Anne style. The home’s historical value lies in its association with Curtis J. Green, co-owner of Green & Son, a local lumber mill. It was the first residence in Kingsville to boast indoor plumbing. Green’s wife, Fannie S. King, was the granddaughter of Col. James King, the man after whom the Town of Kingsville is named. The home was designed by architect John A. Maycock, who also designed the Church of the Epiphany on Main Street West.
