The Louis LaTour House, built in 1898, was designed by local Lynchburg, Virginia architect Edward G. Frye in a Queen Anne style. It’s a 2 1/2 story brick structure with hipped and gable roofs; the hipped roof section has a central dormer with three windows, corbelled brick and detail work in terra cotta. The front gable also has corbelled brick work and detailing in terra cotta, including the hood moldings. An open arched bay is visible on the second story; terra cotta is used ornately in this bay. The wooden porch is relatively small with a flat roof; below roof line is a metal entablature that is decorated. The roof is supported on pairs of turned columns and it has turned balusters. The central entrance is a pair of wooden doors with a 1-pane transom. The doors have raised panels and a decorated hood above the window lights that seems Neo-classical. Even though the windows positions on first and second floors correspond, the open 2nd level bay, the gable and the roofline give the building its asymmetrical appearance. The house is listed in the Court House Hill-Downtown Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places September 11, 2002 with ID#01000853; a boundary increase was added in November of 2002 with ID#02001361
A photograph of the house before renovation is on the Library of Congress website lcweb2.loc.gov/pnp/habshaer/va/va1100/va1158/photos/16014...
