Additional Comments
2014: Original clapboard sheathing covered with vinyl siding; peak shinglework still intact.

Based on the citations above, and looking at the house, the circa 1901 date, which cites a remodel in 1901, appears to be the most accurate; therefore the Currier name is ascribed to it. Note that Currier's wife Lucy was a daughter of O.S. Powell.
