Bibliographic References
Historic name, designer: River Falls Historical Association Tax rolls, 1909: FD Ensign owner, no significant valuation; 1910, Mrs. Clara Ensign, lot separated out, $135 (land) + $1800 (buildings). River Falls Journal, 7 October 1909: "Frank Ensign is building a house opposite his for his mother and sister Inez Bailey." Note that Ensign was not an architect but owned the local lumber yard which was likely responsible for the construction of the subject house and the design may have come from a catalog.
