The Bell-Biggs Home is listed on National Register of Historic Places
Sited amidst gracious, mature and well-maintained land-scaping, the Bell-Biggs House is a two and one-half story frame dwelling with 1:1 sashes. It features weatherboard and shingle siding and a hipped roof with lower cross gabled projecting bays. A circular, shingle-sided tower with conical roof topped by its original copper finial rises above the main roofline. Simplified scroll brackets run the length of the cornice of the home. Doric order column supports and turned balustrade runs the length of the facade. Projecting above the sloping roofline of the porch and centered with the main entrance to the home is a gabled entranceway supported by paired Ionic order columns. Within the pediment of the entranceway is a wooden appliqued representation of a classical style face, possibly representing the Roman god Janus.
