The Arthur Monroe Free House in San Jose, California is a Craftsman-style how which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1] It is located at 66 South 14th Street, which previously was 66 South Priest Street.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register for its association with Arthur Monroe Free, a United States Congressman. Free lived at the house from 1919 until his death in 1953.[2]
However, Donald and Annie Palmer had commissioned the house in 1905 from residential designer, Emily Williams, their "adopted" daughter and partner of their daughter, Lillian McNeill Palmer.[3] The Palmers lived there until they moved to San Francisco around 1909.[4] Lillian Palmer had a workshop in the basement where she practiced her metal art. Emily and Lillian lived in this house on and off.[5]
