3800, 3803, 3811, 3814, 3835, 3837 and 3839 Jackson St.
Many of the homes in this block illustrate the wide number of variations found in the Craftsman architectural style that was popular in the United States between 1905 and 1930. The homes feature low pitched roofs with wide overhangs, knee braces or exposed rafter tails, and deeply recessed front porches. The Craftsman style is also referred to as the “California Bungalow”, a style inspired by the work of 2 California architects – brothers Charles and Henry Greene. Note especially 3837 Jackson St. This home represents the classical Bungalow form with its low-slung, horizontal appearance.

Dr. Alphonso J. McLaughlin – 3841 Jackson St.
Built in 1916, this stately home was constructed for Dr. Alphonso McLaughlin who was born July 17, 1876 in Toronto, Canada. In early childhood he lived in Kentucky and later attended Kentucky University where he completed courses in medicine and graduated in 1897. After spending one year in hospital work, he came to Sioux City and associated with his brother P. B. McLaughlin. His specialty was surgery. This house is a good example of the Neoclassical architectural style. Notable features include the 2-story front porch (portico) supported by tall Doric Columns, dentil molding (visible under the eaves), and fanlight windows.
