522 W . Main
1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
One of the best examples of the few turn of the century houses in
the district , this well preserved Queen Anne/Colonial Revival
style house is very similar to the neighboring 516 W . Main St .
The two may have been built at the same time and by the same
builder . The next house in the row , 606 W . Main St . , is also
similar , though to a lesser degree .
Albert H . Miller , a farmer , signed the 1903 Sewer permit , though it
is not known whether or not he was the original owner . By the
late 1920 ' s Charles W . Benham and his wife , Mary J . Benham ,
were living here .
