History and architectural features
Designed by Smith & Warner and built in 1887, this historic structure is a 3+1⁄2-story Queen Anne-style dwelling. Its construction was funded by William Mayne Donaldson, president of the Donaldson Paper Company, who originally resided there.
A rear addition was erected circa 1910. It has a stone foundation, brick first story, and wood shingle second and third stories. It features irregular massing, a variety of surface textures, multiple intersecting roofs, bay windows, porch and balconies, and a turret with spindle. The house was converted to apartments in 1925.
Following a period of disrepair, the building was purchased by a private developer in 2018 and restoration was completed by November 2022.
