History

The house was built in as early as 1870 for Joseph E. Hall, a local jeweler and instrument maker. Hall and his family lived here until 1882, when it was purchased by Sylvester Erskine, a barber and saloon keeper.


Description

It was designed in the style mix of Italianate and Late Victorian architecture by Salmon Crane, who was a leading architect in Tecumseh in the second half of the nineteenth century. The brick house, which is modest in size and typical of those built in the area at the time, is noted for its irregular design, which features an L-shaped floor plan and square tower.[2]
