Matt Cohen, surveyor
Built in the mid-1920' s , this simple Classic Cottage type house is more
typical of several houses in the city built in the 1930' s. It probably
replaced as earlier structure on this site. The well preserved house was
probably built for R. Blaine Downs and his wife Ida H. Downs.
