Alexander and Blanche Joske House

The Alexander and Blanche Joske House at two hundred forty-one King William Street is defined by its two-story front porch supported by Ionic columns and a carved oak front door framed by a distinct limestone basket-handle arch. Originally a modest four-room limestone cottage built in eighteen eighty-one for a hardware dealer named Thomas Wren, the structure was transformed into a grand neoclassical residence after Alexander Joske purchased the property in eighteen ninety-two.
