NOTES
Additional Information:This two-story cream brick house has a tall, mansard roof that is undecorated. The house has sash windows decorated with flat lintels. Two windows on the front wall are segmentally arched. The entrance is covered by a simple overhang with thin square posts and brackets.

This house is a good example of a simple variation of the Second Empire style.

This was the home of John Pierron, a factory manager, between 1876 and 1893. It was the home of Clark Matteson, a retired attorney, during the same period.

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