History
The Little House in Victoria was completed in February 1896 as the home of Henrietta Little and her daughters, following the death of John Little in 1895. Its design followed George F. Barber's model No. 33 from his Cottage Souvenir No. 2 pattern book, and its Victorian features include asymmetrical massing and a second-floor octagonal turret. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as an exceptional local example of a Victorian-era residence.
