Historic Name:
Steketee Home
Common Name:
Steketee Home
This bungalow-style house has a cross-gable from front to back. The rafter ends are visible. The back dormer was added and covers a sunroom both upper and lower levels. It has a spacious front screened porch. The top part of the house has wooden shingles while the bottom is stucco to the ground line.
Originally constructed as a carriage house by a Dr. Yates, next-door neighbor Andre Steketee bought the "barn" in 1918 and converted it to a house. His son George Steketee bought the house in 1921 and remodeled it, putting on an east side and south side addition. The Steketees owned the home until 1966. The Steketee family were prominent dry goods merchants in Holland.
