The Thorn-Stingley House is a historic house in Homer, Alaska, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1] Built in 1945, it is one of the city's few little-altered examples of housing built in Homer's boom years following World War II.[2] It was built by Francis H. Thorn, a well-driller and was occupied by him and/or his family until 1973.[2] The house is a 1+12-story wood-frame structure, roughly rectangular in shape, with a side-gable roof and a full basement that includes a one-car garage. It is 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.
