321 Melrose Avenue was built for Ullman and Jennie Strong by an unknown architect. This home is an excellent example of the Queen Anne style. Queen Anne homes are characterized by their asymmetrical design, elaborate ornamentation, and use of a variety of surface materials and window configurations. They often feature steeply pitched roofs, dominant front gables, wrap-around porches, and towers or turrets. These homes sometimes have vibrant exterior colors.
