This house was built in 1927 by O. M. Kulien, a local contractor who built many homes in the area. It is notable for its quality details, siting, size, and large trees, making it a prominent feature of the neighborhood. It was evidently built on speculation, and the first resident is not known. The first identified owner was David C. Watson (1937-1944), followed by several other owners in the 1950s-60s. The longest-term owners were Robert Bryan, an attorney, and his wife Jo Ann. They moved here in the later 1960s and Mrs. Bryan remained until about 1990.

| Appearance |
| This large house sits high above the street and is sheltered by several large trees and shrubs, making it difficult to see clearly. Cladding is red brick with a wood shingle roof. It has a gable-and-wing form, with a tall shallow wing on the west side and a large gabled dormer to the east. The entry is near the center of the north façade, with a stoop sheltered by an arched Colonial-style hood. The arched door is flanked by large arched leaded glass windows. Most of the primary windows are arched with leaded glass, including the casement windows on the second floor. The east elevation has a one-story hexagonal bay with leaded glass windows. The west end has a simpler three-sided bay with 10-over-one windows. The rear (south) elevation has a large gabled dormer with brick cladding on the sides and shingles on the front; the arched windows and perhaps the shingles are newer replacements. |
