Additional Comments
"The Forsythe House is a two and one half story frame residence on a raised foundation faced in limestone. The assymetrically massed, hip-roofed block with intersecting gables is finished with clapboarding articulated with elaborate stickwork, sawn and incised ornament and shingling on the front. The windows are large, one-over-one, double-hung sash. This structure appears to have been little altered from its orignal appearance." (A). Individuals associated with this building include Charles Forsythe (1893-1894) - he was the superentendent of the Becker Leather Co. - , A. D. Allinbone (1895 to 1899), Walter F. Brown (1903 to 1921) and James Wood (1903 to 1921). James Wood was a real estate agent.
