| Additional Information: | This house was built for William Morrissey, a partner in the firm of Morrissey Bros., in 1900. Sources differ about the designer/builder. The Lodi Historical Album says the builder was Carl C. Menes while a contemporary newspaper account states that the builder was the local firm of Christie and Allen. Perhaps both are right and Menes just furnished the design. House has a cut stone foundation, a modern garage in the rear, and a new chimney running up the south side of the house. 2020: The William Morrissey House (302 N. Main St.) is a Queen Anne Style and it occupies a large rectilinear parcel on the east side of N. Main St. The main façade of this clapboard-clad house, which was built in 1900, faces onto N. Main St. and this side of its parcel is edged by a concrete sidewalk, a narrow grassed terrace, and concrete curb and gutter, and the historic boundary of the property corresponds to the lot’s parcel lines, which run along the back edge of the concrete sidewalk on the N. Main St. side of the parcel. "This home has three window bays typical of the Queen Anne style an the Tuscan columns of the Colonial Revival style. Mene's daughter Blanche occupied this home from 1942-1967 and operated a boarding house here."
