Matt Cohen , surveyor
One of only two houses in the district attributed to local carpenter
John A. Bartholomew , brother of another local builder - Elmer L .
Bartholomew , this house is a fine example of the Bungalow style . It
is distinguished from the numerous other examples of the style in
the district by subtle variations in detailing and proportion .
J . A. Bartholomew ' s other known house , 807 S . 6th Ave . stands
across the street .
The house may have been built for David T . Griffith , an osteopathic
physician .
