The architectural movement that lasted from 1900-early 1920s emphasized a “protracted academic, often classicizing, phase” reflected in the firm’s Queen Anne-style residential commissions at the time. (2) The Thomas C. Galloway Residence, was one of the most expensive homes of its time, costing $5,000 in 1900. This two-story home features elaborate details like an octagonal tower, fine beveled glass windows, and a second-floor balustrade. In 1901 the firm designed the George Nesbit Residence, a unique two-story bungalow unlike any other home found in Weiser in the early 1900s. The Bernard Haas Residence is a two-story home designed in 1903 and features Tuscan columns and a “truncated hipped roof with protruding gables on each side” (3).

A unique, medieval revival-style lodge building described by the Signal as “the finest of its kind in the West” was designed in 1904 (3). The Pythian Lodge, (aka “Pythian Castle”) was commissioned by the Knights of Pythias., a fraternal order, and the façade was built with sandstone quarried from Sand Hollow.

The St. Agnes Church built in 1911, was designed in the Italianate style, featuring a bell tower and cruciform plan as well as round, arched stained-glass Renaissance-style windows.

A new architectural movement that consisted of “clear expressions of the progressive art deco style” began in the 1930s, often represented in civic buildings such as the Washington County District Courthouse from 1939. (2)
