The Thorn-Stingley House is a historic house at 1660 East End Road in Homer, Alaska, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1] It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, roughly rectangular in shape, with a side-gable roof and a full basement that includes a one-car garage. The house is in a local interpretation of the Bungalow style, with a pair of gable-roof dormers projecting from the front roof, and a projecting gable-roofed hood above the main entrance. The front facade is divided into three asymmetrical bays, with a grouping of three sash windows in the left bay (over the garage entrance), the entry in the center, and a single sash window to the right. The house, built in 1945, is one of the city's only little-altered representatives of housing built in Homer's boom years following World War II.[2]
It was built by Francis H. Thorn, a well-driller; he and/or his family lived in it until 1973.[2]
