7. Narrative Description:
What appears to be a gable-front manufactured home is said to be a 1908 cottage that was relocated
to this site prior to 1925 and given a full basement. A curiousity is that the new basement (front
portion) is of stone, while the rear addition (post-1964) is of concrete. The present roof form likely
came with the enlargement of the cottage. The Sanborn Map shows the cottage present by 1934 but
one address reference from 1925 needs to be investigated. The original cottage measured 28 feet in
width and 16 feet in depth. The addition added 16 feet to the length. There is a rear entry stoop, and
a front deck porch that recently replaced a stoop. No house was on the site as of 1909.
