This two-story brick house has a boxy massing with a red-tiled hipped roof. An off-set chimney flanked by pairs of arched and rectangular windows is balanced by a projecting porch with roof balcony. Built in 1928 for James W. McCamey, an oil operator, it was purchased in the mid-1930s by Robert E. Cowan, manager of the Ralston Purina Co. feed mill east of downtown. The Cowans lived here until 1952. The house is virtually identical to the Bevan House at 2900 Sixth Avenue, and is probably the work of Dr. M. J. Bisco.
