303 S. 6th
1985 revision
Matt Cohen, surveyor
Non-contributing due to alteration, this vernacular shingle style house was
probably originally very similar to 306 S. 7th Ave. , which stands on the lot
directly behind this one. The latter house was clearly modeled after
"House Design #1092" in Hodgson' s turn of the century house catalog. This
house was probably derived from the same pattern, and built by the same
carpenter.
Tauner (Tin) B. Switzer may have been the original occupant, and perhaps
owner as well . Listed as a rancher residing at 802 W. Babcock in the 1904-
5 city directory, Switzer' s name appears on the 1908 sewer permit for this
address, and in the 1910-11 and 1916-17 directories for this address. The
house was listed as vacant in 1927.
