Matt Cohen , surveyor
A typical example of a Depression period Cape , this modest ,
pattern book house , with its simple Tudor Revival style entrance
vestibule , is of marginal significance in the historic district .
Evidence suggests that the house is an example of 1930 ' s infill ,
and did not replace an earlier structure .
The original owner was probably 011ie Edsall .
