This rambling house has an irregular roofline, projections and recessions, bay windows, dormers of different shapes, and porches. Located on the far west side of Hancock, this house was built for Dr. J. E. Scallon. It was planned in 1901, and was to be one of the \u201ccostly and elegant\u201d houses in Hancock. The newspaper described it as a \u201cmodern colonial type\u201d and noted its porte cochere and Portage Entry sandstone foundation. The reception hall had paneled wainscoting and ceiling, as well as a fireplace and seats. The parlor, living room and dining room were reached through sliding doors. There were five bedrooms on the second floor and one on the first. The front part of the attic \u201cwill be fitted up for a banquet hall to be used for private parties.\u201d This five-bedroom dwelling was to have all the modern fixtures; it is said that Liebert took extra care in developing the heating and ventilation systems.1<\/sup><\/p>\n
