Note:

One of several Hughes-designed houses in the Fisher Park suburb, the large brick house displays the horizontality of the Prairie style with eclectic details. The Manufacturers’ Record noted in 1916 that W. L. Carter awarded a $13,000 contract to builder W. C. Bain for the house Hughes had designed for him.
