The Stephen B. Quillen House is located on a corner lot at Church and Lively streets in one of the original neighborhoods of the Russell County town of Lebanon. Local builder and businessman Nathan W. Easterly constructed the house in 1912 as a speculative business venture. Six years later, Russell County attorney and former Lebanon mayor Stephen B. Quillen bought it. It was one of the first houses built in the Church Street neighborhood of Lebanon and is located behind Main Street and within view of the bell tower of the Russell County Courthouse. With its steep and irregular roof, wraparound porch, and cutaway bay windows, it stands as one of the few remaining Queen Anne Style houses in the Town of Lebanon. The Stephen B. Quillen House also retains all of its refined red oak interior woodwork.
