The Arthur Stiles House, built in 1916 on Main Street in South Windsor, is an example of the American Foursquare style of house. Popular throughout America from the 1890s to the 1930s, these economical cubes with hipped roofs were a reaction to the more complicated and expensive Victorian house styles. This Foursquare was constructed for Mary Holman, who sold it to her nephew Arthur Stiles for $2,000.

    We have an American Foursquare style house built in the 1890’s, on our property in Weirsdale, Florida. It looks very much like this Arthur Stiles house.
