My personal favorite is Chateau sur Mer in Newport......also exuberant but not so frenetic. I suspect that the Stillwater house, as you suggest and unlike Carson Mansion, has been significantly altered over the years and there are certainly architectural incongruities. I prefer the more formal, and untouched, high Victorian houses we have in St. Paul but this house's "farmishness" fits well in the Stillwater locale.

There's a difference, though, or at least I think there is, between well-integrated exuberance (say, the splendiferous <A HREF="http://www.eurekaheritage.org/the_carson_mansion.htm" REL="nofollow">Carson Mansion</A>) and this house, which seems to me to be defined by haphazard and clumsy afterthoughts. The additions/changes are decidedly modern, both in material and proportion, and I just don't think they're at all sensitive to the architecture. If I were buying this place, they'd be torn down (if entirely new) or returned to their original condition.<BR/><BR/>But I agree, chacun à son goût.

Spindles, decorative gingerbread, eyebrow windows and overly ornate porches contribute to the romance of these homes. It isn't claiming to be a Georgian Manor. It is a largely original old midwest house that generations have probably been very fond of. PHC would really hate seeing it all tarted up for Christmas against a canvas of snow.
