Home Histories

This red brick house was a popular contractor's model often seen in the neighborhood. The partially covered porch continues the full length of the front of the house. Alterations in the past probably included removing a once continuous porch roof for the present small one with recent style wrought iron supports. On the side are French doors leading to another small porch.
