257 Warwick Avenue is a 2 1/2 story, 4 bay, rectangular plan, Italianate influenced, wood frame, residential structure. Built c. 1870, the clapboard-clad house features a mansard roof with cross gables. Additional Italianate features include crossbracing, paired arched windows in the gabled apex and elaborate window crowns. In 1890 the home was owned by T.W. Baldwin. In 1904, it was owned by Frederic Mayers. Not only is this house one of the oldest homes in the Montrose area, but it has retained its integrity of design and rural setting. It is a wonderful example of what John Gorham Vose had in mind when he first began developing the Montrose area.
