This  contributing, c.1885,  Stick-style residence is an intact  reflection of late-nineteenth century residential development.  Its cross­ gabled,  2-story  plan  displays  original  brick  chimney, decorative trusses  and stick  work,  slate  roof,  overhanging eaves,  and decorative and varied wall cladding.  Original  multi-paned sash is in evidence, while a 1-story  wrap-around porch  with classical columns  may  be a twentieth  century  modification.

The exterior of this house exemplifies some Queen Anne detailing particularly in the gables and in the existence of the wrap-around porch although, as shown, the porch today is not original to the structure.  The porch in the older picture is probably original and is representative of simple Queen Anne  detail.

After 1945 it was converted to a two-family residence.

John Henry Lockwood, born in Warrensburgh 1847, started life as a lumberman.  In 1883 he purchased an interest in the stage-coach, mail and express business from Warrensburg to Glens Falls.  He married Diana Hubbell  in 1880.  He died in 1920
