427 W . Curtiss
1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
An excellent example of one of the several similar ,
vernacular Queen Anne style houses in the district ,
this one is also significant as part of a group of four
similar houses , 415 , 419 423 W . Curtiss being the others .
This house differs substantially from the others in that
it relates to its corner location with a second projecting
bay , set 900 off from the front one . In this respect , it
is especially similar to several house patterns in Fred
T. Hodgson ' s mail order house pattern catalog , such as
" House Design " Nos . 1032 , 1038 , 1076 ( see appendix ) .
In 1927 , Mrs . Ella Ennis., widow of Joseph B . Ennis , was
living here.
