1891 Boughton House

This home was built for Lemuel C. and Mary (Vaughn) Boughton in 1891. The house is a two-story frame Queen Anne-style residence.  Characteristic features of this style include a central pyramidal-roofed section with projecting gabled bay windows; decorative turned and jigsaw-cut details under the eaves in the cutaway bay windows; and cottage windows on the bays. Lemuel C. Boughton lived in Cherokee from 1877 to 1893, and the Boughtons lived in this house for only two years before selling it to J.H. Brummer.
