Description and history
editThe footprint of the house is approximately 27 by 37 feet (8.2 by 11.3 m) and it is one and a half stories. The shallow gabled roof has a shingle covering. The gable facade presents a 9-foot (2.7 m) wide full porch. The one story lava rock walls have a reddish brown color. The masonry is rubble coursed with the mortar raked to a depth of 1.5 to 2 inches (38 to 51 mm) in the medium wide joints. Shingles in bands cover the gable walls above the stone. The house reflects the Bungalow style of architecture and is designed and detailed to serve as a town residence.
The rock for construction was hauled by horse and wagon from about .5 miles (0.80 km) from Hazelton. Julian Kelley obtained the title to the lot while Marion Kelley was serving in World War I. On returning he assisted a stonemason (believed to be Christopherson) in building the home, doing much of the carpentry himself. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1983, as part of the thematic resource "Lava Rock Structures in South Central Idaho".[3][4]
