Physical Description:
33x44 core, 16x8 porch, 2/2 lights, actually a single story plan with front walkout

Evaluation:
House surveyed by Kriviskey in 1979, rated "2" as a rare example of the use of Dubuque stone with
modifications that have achieved significance in their own right." Suggests Manard roof is later addition
to an earlier plan.
8. Narrative Statement of Significance:
An original owner has not been identified. The 1850 building date is suspect, unless this house was
remodeled into its present style.
Historical Notes:
1873 directory places sash maker John A. Byrne and Mrs. Theresa M. Byrne 3 houses west of Summit;
Carpenter Michael J. King at same; and contractor John Fortune 4 houses west of Summit (not found in
directories).
Michael J. King, capitalist, sells 329 West 3rd to Edward J. Phillips (Bailiff, District Court), for $1,400.
Phillips was a brother of Sheriff Phillips (Herald, June 20, 1892).
