Revision 1985
Well preserved with the exception of the replacement ofthe original porch with
the present non-contribl.lting one, this clapboard house, with its ornate gable I
shingles , makes a significant contribution to the streetscape. Sometime between
1900 and 1904, Henry F. Sears , secretary, treasurer and manager, and later presi-
dent and manager., of the Republican Courier Co. , occupied the house. His widow,
Mrs. Emma H. Sears, remained here as late as the late 1930' s , after the death of
her, husband around the late 1920' s.
