Narrative Statement of Significance: Historical Notes: The lack of an 1899 directory entry confirms the building date. Farwell was a superintendent for the Adams Company. Three sons, Fay. G., Jay E. and Ray S. Farwell, all lived here and worked at the same firm as of 1902. Compares favorably with design of 515 Fenelon, across the street.
