Iconic Queen Anne Victorian on Historic Walnut Street

The Sease-Designed Queen Anne

Sited on over an acre of Springfield’s prestigious Historic Walnut Street, this 1886 Queen Anne Victorian is a documented work by Colonel George Hartzell Sease. Spanning approximately 6,063 square feet, the residence is a testament to the grand domestic scale of the late 19th century, retaining the intricate woodwork, stained glass, and soaring ceiling heights that define the era.

The interior articulation centers on a grand entry staircase, flanked by formal living and dining volumes anchored by original fireplaces. For the woodwork enthusiast, the dining room features a preserved built-in pass-through hutch, maintaining the historic connection to the service areas.

While the kitchen has been updated with butcher block surfaces and a large island to suit modern habits, the floor plan preserves the distinct zones of the Victorian home, including a functional mudroom “drop zone” that manages the transition from the outdoors.

The upper levels demonstrate the home’s massive capacity. The second floor houses a modernized primary suite with extensive built-ins, while the third floor—historically the attic or servant quarters—has been fully finished into a recreation room with two additional chambers.

The grounds are equally impressive, featuring a rare 1.04-acre city lot enclosed by wrought iron fencing. The property includes a detached carriage house, successfully adapted into a three-car garage, and a modern in-ground pool that offers leisure without compromising the historic streetscape.
