Robert Jones was a postal clerk in Waukesha. The architects Wolf and Waegli designed this house for him and it was built in 1897. It is two stories, with Queen Anne styling in the asymmetric facade, the hip-and-gable roof, the shingle-work in the gable ends, and the wraparound porch. The porch is especially striking, with its sunburst gable and the corner pavilion.[3]
