This small one-and-one-half-story Colonial Revival residence and matching garage display elegance through overall symmetry, prominent eave returns, shingled gabled ends, and classical pillars supporting the hipped roof of the front porch. Its relative lack of adornment reflects the early twentieth century’s emphasis on simplicity and clean lines. Its longest-term residents were Andrew and Ellen Thurston and their four daughters. Andrew managed the Yellowstone Elevator Company before becoming a car salesman, while Ellen was locally known for her hospitality. The Forsyth couple may have built the home after purchasing the lot from businessman and banker Emmett Meyerhoff in 1919, and they owned the residence until 1937. The wooden house with clapboard siding has changed little since it was first built; except for modern porch screens, storm windows, and a metal roof, the exterior looks much as it did in 1920, and the interior still has hardwood floors, wood trim, crown molding, and some original light fixtures.
