1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
Probably one of the five Bungalows built by local carpenter
Guy A. Ensinger that were noted in a 1917 article in American
Builder magazine , this house is a typical variation of the
Bungalow style which was spread across the country largely
through magazines and pattern books . The house is nearly identical
to the adjacent 719 S . 6th Ave . , also built by Ensinger , and is
very similar to two houses built by Ora E . Long , 718 and 722 S .
7th Ave . nearby . All of these houses are similar to "Bungalow
Design No . 2010" presented in Hodgson ' s house pattern catalog :
Practical Bungalows and C_ot_taces fo_r Town and _Country ( see ap-
pendix) .
In 1927 , the house was occupied by Edward J . Hines of Buell
& Hines , a real estate , loan and insurance company .
