About the Kellogg House
The house is a large, two-and-a-half story building. It is built mostly from different types of stone. These stones include granite, sandstone, and brownstone.
The first part of the house was designed by William H. Willcox. It was finished in 1890. Its style mixes two types of architecture: Queen Anne and Romanesque.
In 1923, Frank Kellogg added a large new section. This part was designed by Allen H. Stem. It changed the front of the house from Fairmount Avenue to Dale Street. This new section was called the "Coolidge Wing." It might have been named after President Calvin Coolidge visited Kellogg there in 1923.
