This large house, a good and intact example of an American Foursquare, was built in 1907 for Harry W. Foster, secretary-treasurer of the Robertson Foster Company, a real estate firm. He and his wife Angie lived here until 1925, when it was purchased by William and Alice Glazier. No information has been found on the builder or architect. According to permit records, some minor alterations were made in the early years. The house is notable for the extent of its leaded and stained glass. It has been in multifamily use since 1949.

| Appearance |
| This American Foursquare is 2-1/2 stories with a projecting entry porch on the west side of the main (south) façade. The hipped roof has deep eaves and curved brackets. The porch has two square columns and a clapboard balustrade. The main entry has a plain glass door with sidelights. Adjacent is a projecting bay with three windows with leaded glass transoms. The east elevation has a broad three-sided hanging bay with a hipped roof, deep eaves, brackets and a window with a stained glass transom. Hipped-roof dormers with brackets are found on the front and both sides, each with two lattice windows. Most windows throughout are double-hung, with diamond-paned leaded glass in the upper sash. Cladding is clapboard with a wide water table and a narrow dentilled belt course above the first floor windows. At the northeast is an original garage with swinging doors and rustic cladding. |
