Grant C. Angle House – 629 West Cota Street

This single-family residence was built in 1890 for Grant C. Angle and is a two-story wood frame structure with Queen Anne Architecture style. This house was probably one of the first houses built in the current downtown. Grant C. Angle made his most significant contribution in the community through the influence of the newspaper he established called the Shelton-Mason County Journal in 1886. He was also known for his platting of a large portion of the south hill (now known as Angleside Neighborhood) through his real estate agency in 1923.

The building features solid brackets, which are characteristic of Italinate architecture, while other features appear to reflect Queen Anne design. The doors are Queen Anne style wood paneled doors with an upper portion of multi-pane glazing with clear and colored glass. The windows are one-over-one, double hung wood sash units.

The building was placed on the Shelton Historic Register in May of 1996.
