1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveys
This simple , eaves front , Colonial Revival style pattern book
house is a typical example of 1920 ' s residential design . It probably
replaced the original house on this site , which was almost surely
built by local carpenter W . H . Cline along with all other houses
on this side of the block ( 302- 324 S . 5th in 1917 .
Robert B . Oliver and his wife , Edith A . Oliver , resided in the
' house on this site in 1927 , which was perhaps destroyed by fire .
Robert Oliver was , according to the 1927 city directory , president
I, of the Oliver-Stout Implement Co . A " Record of Water Service"
card dated June 11 , 1936 and signed by Mrs . Edith Oliver specifies :
"Abandon old service for 5th and put in new one from Curtiss " .
The new service from Curtiss probably served this house when it
was newly built . The original house on this site , built by W . H .
Cline , may have been similar to 324 S . 5th , a four square type
house , which would have completed the evident symmetry of this
side of the block , which was constructed completely by Cline .
