Additional Information: | Shingled upper story; three sided bay window; full length open porch with grooved Ionic columns; fieldstone retaining wall. William Richards lived here c. 1919; and John Taft, a telephone operator, lived here between c. 1924 and c. 1930. Initial research indicates that none of the occupants of this house are historically significant either individually, or as a group within the proposed historic district. This building does not meet the criteria of the NRHP for architectural significance. However, this building has sufficient architectural character to contribute to the proposed historic district. |
