Listed on the National and State Registers within the Avery-Helm Historic District, this local version of late Prairie architecture displays horizontal lines, stucco and tile-block construction, and enduring craftsmanship. Built in 1925 by local builder Earl Heckart for George and Lillian Whiteside, the home is tied to one of Corvallis' most influential families and early entertainment history.
