Built in 1906, this Traditional 2-story historic home, known as the Newbold-Alexander Homestead, is located in the Historic District of the quaint town of Creswell, showcasing classic Southern architecture and timeless character! It stands as a tangible link between Creswell's turn-of-the-century merchant boom and its modern-day preservation.
William N Newbold's daughter, Mary and son-in-law, J.W. Starr, constructed the grand two-story home during the town's growth period between 1900 and 1915. (1906) For the first half of the 20th century, the home was anchored by the Starr/Newbold descendants.
In 1976, ownership transferred to the Alexanders. By maintaining the property intact for decades, the Alexander family became the modern protectors of the historic site. From the traditional architecture to the charming details, this home is filled with the kind of character and personality that is becoming harder to find.
