Matt Cohen , surveyor
One of the several houses in the district built in the 1930 ' s
on a site for which a sewer permit was signed by George P . Dier
in 1919 , this house has a gabled entry vestibule typical of
many of those houses .
The original occupant may have been Agnes Heagney . In 1940
the house was occupied by John G . Bohlinger , who owned "Aileen ' s " -
a women ' s clothing store at 21 E . Main , which was named after
his wife .
