401 W . Koch
1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
A fine example of an early 20th century , vernacular
pattern book house , this house is the easternmost in
a very cohesive streetscape of five diverse pattern book
houses ( 407 , 411 , 417 , 421 , W . Koch are the others ) . There
appear to be only two substantial alterations , the oriel
window in the east wall , and the small shed wall dormer
on front . The design for this house was probably derived
from a specific , similar pattern in Fred T . Hodgson ' s
mail order house pattern catalog , Practical Bungalows and
Cottages for _Town and Country .
In 1927 , William H . Everson was living here .
