This 1909 three-story Craftsman/Prairie style residence is rectangular in <strong>for</strong>m with a two-story shed-roofed<br />
wing on the north, porches on west and south, and a shallow angled bay on the southwest corner. The<br />
porches have shed roofs and are supported by heavy projecting beams, the horizontal roof lines are<br />
punctuated by rafter ends. The porch base, balustrade and roof supports are brick. The two-story wing on<br />
the north contains an open porte-cochere, with an enclosed sleeping porch above it. The roof is composed<br />
of intersecting gables; a north-south gable on the east and two east-west gables on the west elevation. Four<br />
gabled dormers project from the upper floor roof, facing north, east, south and west. The wood frame<br />
building is surfaced with horizontal lap siding on the first floor up to window-sill height of the second<br />
floor, and vertical board and batten siding from the second floor window sill height to the eaves. Corner<br />
boards sheathe the corners of the building. The roof and dormer gables are gracefully curved down on the<br />
outer ends, reflecting a Japanese influence typical of Craftsman style variations. Exposed rafter ends<br />
project beneath the eaves, and purlins support the gabled roof extensions. The rafter and beam ends that<br />
project from beneath the roof are cut in a decorative pattern. A brick chimney projects above the west<br />
elevation, with a second brick chimney extending from the roof on the east side of the house. Both are<br />
trimmed with a four-cornered concrete cap. Windows are primarily casements. Windows on the north wing<br />
are not original, added when the porte-cochere was added. Windows on the first floor contain leaded glass<br />
panels with art nouveau designs. An angled bay is located on the southwest corner of the house. All<br />
windows are framed with wood, and are mainly placed at the corners of the building on each elevation,<br />
providing interior light from two directions. This detail appears to be a special design feature of the house.<br />
The only major alteration of the house is a modification that enclosed the original porte-cochere, dating<br />
from approximately 1924, which has since been restored to its original configuration. This building was<br />
designed by master architect George Sellon <strong>for</strong> Robert E. Cranston, a mining engineer and local manager of<br />
the Marysville Dredging Company. The building is individually listed on the National Register of Historic<br />
Places as the Cranston-Geary Residence. It is a contributor to the district.<br />
