Murton E. and Lillian DeGuire House

The Murton E. and Lillian DeGuire House is a historic house built in 1906 and located in Silverton in Marion County, Oregon. It was built in the "Free - Classic Queen Anne" style with modest ornamentation that includes leaded glass, projecting bays, groups of windows that include both long and short windows, and differing siding textures. The basic block form with dormers and gables is perhaps most commonly associated with the Colonial Revival Style.[2]
