The Orson Everitt House is a private house located at 39040 West Seven Mile Road in Livonia, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
The Orson Everitt House is an irregularly massed[2] 1-1/2 story wooden house with a hipped roof and clapboard siding[3] with a multi-colored paint scheme.[2] The principal feature of the facade is the broad porch which spans the front; the porch features turned balusters and a circular turret at one end. Various dormers, including a turret with conical, roof break the roof line.[3]
Marshall Everitt[2] first settled on the property where this house was built in 1830. A few years later, the family built a simple structure just east of the current house location.[3] As the family prospered, more structures were added, and in 1899, Marshall's grandson[2] Orson Everitt built this house. It is likely the design of the house was selected from a house plan book; a similar house plan can be found in Herbert C. Chivers' Artistic Homes.[3]
Orson Everitt still owned the property in 1915.[2] The house was converted to office space in 1979[3] by the law firm of Klein and Bloom.[2]
