The Thomas and Isabella Moore Clyde House is a private house located at 50325 Cherry Hill Road in Canton Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]

History

Hugh R. Clyde settled in Canton Township in 1825,[2] and in 1826 married Eliza Huston.[3] In approximately 1845, Hugh and Eliza built this house on the lot across the street from where it now stands.[4][5] The Clyde family occupied the house until 1858, when it was purchased by John Huston II, Eliza's nephew.[5] In 1924, the house was purchased by William and Jennie Houk, who lived in it while constructing a new brick house on the property. When their new house was finished, they moved the Clyde House across the street.[5]

Description

The Thomas Clyde House is a ​1 1⁄2-story clapboard upright and wing Greek Revival house on a concrete foundation faced with rock.[4] The two wings form an unusual asymmetric facade.[4] The east wing is positioned flush with the main upright section; the west is recessed to allow for a front porch; a second porch fronts the upright section. The two porches have thick square posts with pierced-work brackets between them.[4] Two front entrances are in the main upright section and the east wing; the windows are six-over-six. The house has ramped door and window surrounds. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles, and the classic cornice below features returns at the gabled ends.[4]

This house is significant because the asymmetric upright and wing is an unusual subtype more frequently seen in the northeastern states, and rarely in Michigan.[4]
