NOTES
Additional Information:This two and one-half story simple Queen Anne house has a steeply-pitched intersecting gable roof with broad gable ends. The house is clad with aluminum siding and windows are largely singel light double-hung sashes. The front porch has a stone foundation, round columns, and a spool and spindle balustrade.

This house is a good example of a simple variation of the Queen Anne style.

This was the home of the Henry family from 1887 to 1940. Sarah Henry was the widow of Thomas. George and Clarence Henry were partners in a wholesale feed and grain business.

Initial research indicates that the occupants of this house are not historically significant.
