The story
The house at 605 Calhoun Street went up in 1863, as railroads, lumber and farm money built the region's main streets.
The style is Italianate, and the details still show it.
Most homes like it are lived in, so enjoy it from the sidewalk.
The James B. Dutton House was built as a single-family house located at 605 Calhoun Street in Lapeer, Michigan. It is now the Calhoun Apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
