Kirkwood features four historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Downtown Kirkwood, East Monroe, Jefferson-Argonne, and North Taylor.
This home is a part of the Jefferson-Argonne Historic District, roughly defined as both sides of Jefferson Avenue and the north side of Argonne between Taylor Street and Holmes Avenue. The homes in the Jefferson-Argonne District were primarily built from the 1850s through the 1950s. This Queen Anne Victorian house located on 211 East Jefferson was built between 1880 and 1890.
The front window showcases the original copper and glass design. The two and a half story home features two sets of pull doors and an open staircase.
