One look at this house, or her fraternal twin next door, and it is impossible to think anything other than, “Here is a classic American home!” She has many lovely features, including detailed woodworking and paneled wainscoting on the stairs, two original fireplace mantles with tiles, pine floors, and a walk up attic. When she was originally built, she had both electric and gas lighting. The lot on which she sits is 50’ x 155’ – large for a city home!

A past resident of the block relates that this house was the first on the block to have a TV. The local children used to peek in at the window to watch. When the owners realized what the children were doing, they kindly opened the window a couple of inches for their outdoor audience.
