Scope and content
This Neo-Classical home was constructed in 1902 for Farmers National Bank President W. A. Caldwell, a prominent citizen in the early development of Brookings. Caldwell was a sponsor of the New Century Building on Main Street & a partner in a hardware & implement firm. Active in public service, he served as a city alderman, school board member & county commissioner. The structure is significant as an example of turn of the century Neo-Classical architecture with its pedimented portico supports by ionic columns, & decorated modillion & dentils beneath the eaves. Converted in 1929 to seven apartments. The multi family dwelling was renovated in 1986 to its restrained elegance.
