503 W . Olive
1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
One of the several fine examples of 19th century vernacular
architecture on W . Olive Street , this house retains much
original detailing , though a remodeling of the entrance
presently in progress is seriously compromising the overall
architectural significance . That remodeling has included the
installation of a new , metal door , and reconstruction of the
porch .
The house may have been built by John M . Wylie , a rancher who
is listed at this address from 1904 through 1927 , and possibly
later . As seen on the 1891 Sanborn Map , this house was the
westernmost on W . Olive Street when built .
