The Shriner–Ketcham House, also known as Lang House, is a private house located at 327 Shriner Street in Hastings, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1996[2] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
History
The Shriner-Ketcham House was constructed in 1868 by local dairy owner and farmer William Shriner.[2] John C. Ketcham, a six-term US Congressman, purchased the house from Shriner. Ketcham continued to live in this house until his death in 1941. It is currently a private home.[2]
Description
The Shriner-Ketcham House is a two-story brick Italianate structure with a low hip roof on a coursed, cut granite foundation. The windows are tall and narrow with arched heads. An early 20th century porch stretches across the front and a single story early 20th century addition is connected to the rear. It is one of only three brick Italianate houses in Hastings.[2]
