2019 photo ... Note Jacobs School of Medicine & Medical Sciences in background ... The two buildings to the right (north) of the Kevin Guest House are also two of the four buildings on the Kevin Guest campus ... The fourth building is the Ziegle House / Salvatore House ... Kevin Guest House details below:
Facade Stick style dormer ... Wrought iron chimney brace stabilizes the chimney ... Leaf in each of the spandrels ... Turned, engaged posts
Facade bay
Stick style gable roof ... Sunburst in gable ... Queen post truss supporting the basket-handle arch
Paneled square Tuscan columns ... The balustrade is Arts & Crafts style, certainly not original
