Foster S. Dennis House

In Kingman, AZ, the Foster S. Dennis House shows off the Queen Anne style about a tenth of a mile off the old road. It is one of the houses that a 1985 survey of 63 historic Kingman sites brought onto the National Register. Little else about its story is on record, but it adds a bit of Victorian-era character to a Route 66 walk between downtown and the town's older neighborhoods.

What is Foster S. Dennis House?

Queen Anne is a house style from the late Victorian era, usually recognized by its varied rooflines, porches and decorative trim. In Kingman it is less common than the Craftsman bungalows and stone homes found nearby, so this house stands out in the local mix.

The house is named for Foster S. Dennis. The record does not say who he was or when the house was built, so it is best enjoyed simply as an example of the style.

Visiting Foster S. Dennis House: tips

This is a private home. Look at it from the street or the public sidewalk, respect the owners' privacy, and do not walk onto the property. A few minutes is enough.

The Hubbs House and the G. H. Sullivan Lodging House are both about 0.2 miles away, and the Kingman Commercial Historic District is about the same distance, so the house works well as a stop on the way downtown.
