History:.jpg)
Alton P. Fassett, a blacksmith at S. 115 Monroe,
purchased this property in 1897 and had this house built in 1901.
Known as the "White Rock Villa," Fassett occupied the home
along with his wife Zitella until his death around 1925. Zitella
continued to occupy the home through the 1930s, selling to William
E. Jensen, a trimmer at the Washington Water Power Co., and his wife
Vivian around 1950.

Architectural
Description:
Converted from a single-family to a multi-family
residence, the home originally featured a large wood shingled turret
on the southeast corner of the front facade with a finial and roof
cresting. All these characteristics were common to Spindlework Queen
Anne style homes. The main/southern portion of the dwelling was
built in 1901, with another L-shaped addition added to the rear and
east side of the home in 1922, nearly doubling its size.
