Built around 1896, the George B. Hamilton House stands in Cuba, MO, close to the old road. It is a Victorian two-and-a-half-story frame house in the Queen Anne style, dressed up with Eastlake details. Its fishscale shingles and delicate spindlework make it a rewarding detail stop for Route 66 travellers in Cuba, and it is listed on the National Register.
What is George B. Hamilton House?
The house is built of wood on an irregular plan, with several projecting bays giving it a busy, varied outline. The decoration is the reason to look: shingles cut in overlapping fishscale shapes, and elaborate turned spindlework in the gable ends and on the porch balconies. That spindle trim is typical of the Eastlake influence.
It joined the National Register in 2014.
Visiting George B. Hamilton House: tips
This is a private home, so view it from the street or public sidewalk and respect the owners' privacy. The gables and porch balconies are the details to look for, and a few minutes is plenty. The Cuba City Jail is about 0.2 miles away, the brick John Manson Munro House about 0.3 miles, and the Wagon Wheel Motel, Café and Station about 0.3 miles, so it pairs well with a short walk or drive around town. Fuel and food are both close by.
