| Additional Comments | Third Lake Ridge Historic District: A Walking Tour. 1987: "The balloon frame, composed of lightweight dimensional lumber, became popular for residential construction by mic-century. However, this Greek Revival style cottage was partially constructed by the older method, with hand-hewn oak timbers. Between 1892 and 1969 the house was owned by the family of Edward Appleby, who was a plumber and accountant at Fuller and Johnson." |
