One of few homes permitted to legally host short-term in Stillwater.
The William Frick House is in the National Register of Historic Places -- one of the best remaining examples of turn of the century Victorian style cottages in this area. Original architecture remains, but an addition, adds plenty of space.
One block from the public library, two blocks from a public park with splash pad, and nine blocks from OSU in the heart of the original Stillwater residential area.
The space
The house was built at the turn of the century by William Frick, owner of Stillwater's first feed store, the Frick House is one of the best remaining examples of turn of the century Victorian style cottages. It is a single-story cottage. Carpenter gothic trim and octagon cut fish-scale shingles decorate the gables. A curving porch extends the width of the front of the house. The porch is enhanced with turned posts, with supporting brackets and spindle bands under the eaves. We’ll be working to re-create the turned railing posts that originally surrounded the porch. The peak of the house is accented by a dormer with small ventilating window cut in a quatrefoil pattern and additional scrollwork.
The original section of the house, consisting of four rooms at the front of the house, has undergone very minimal alteration. Original wood paneling and some fixtures have been retained. The ceilings-have been lowered. The original section of the home includes an eat in kitchen, dining room, sitting room, bedroom, and bathroom.
An addition that contains a large living area two bedrooms and a full bath was added to the back of the house to comprise nearly 1800 square feet of living space.
The house can sleep up to a very crowded 10 people the way we plan to furnish it initially; but that’s counting two in each double bed, two in the sofa bed, two on an air mattress, and one on a roll-away. With only two bathrooms, you'd need to be a pretty close family for that many to share.
