Description

Libbey House at 308 North Main Street, Coupeville, WA. circa 1870. Vernacular Gothic Residence. John Alexander Jr. built this house in 1870 and sold it to Joseph Barstow Libbey in 1871. The kitchen wing on the west facade was added at a later date. The structure originally had gothic-style barge board and finials on the gable ends, and decorative brackets on the porch. Although these decorative elements have been removed, the integrity of the house has not been lost. The house was still owned by the Libby family in 1995. Christmas swag hangs on door.
