8. Narrative Statement of Significance:
Building History: Joe Morgan made repairs on his house on the corner of 4th and Bluff and built two
brick houses at the head of 4th, all for $6,800 in 1878. This could be a reference to a duplex or to two
duplexes? (Times, December 11, 1878). This building might appear (two duplexes as one?) on the
1872 birds eye view, it is on the 1884 Sanborn. The two identical buildings were likely built at the same
time or closely together in time.
Joseph Morgan, Walsh & Cunningham owned this property when it was sewered (no date). The last
sewer tap was c.1929.
