The Elsworth Snowden House is a historic house located at 610 West 3rd Street[2] in Vermont, Illinois. The house was built in 1908 for farmers Elsworth and Susan Snowden. Contractor Fred Rankin built the house, which has a vernacular Cross Plan. The Cross Plan is typified by a cross-shaped floor plan with a complex roof form; this was exhibited in the house's cross-gabled main roof with a hipped roof over the front entrance and a shed roof over the porch. The house also features decorative elements such as its egg-and-dart molding and glass panels above the entrance and Queen Anne-inspired fish scale shingles.[3]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 7 November 1996 with the wrong address: 504 West 3rd Street.[4][1]
