Revision 1985
One of the several houses of marginal significance due to alteration, this
i house was probably built by and for John Eschenbacher, a contractor and
proprietor of the Eschenbacher & Co. Planing Mill located at 322 S. Church.
By 1927, John S. Barker, an architect, was living here.
Alterations , most notably the asphalt shingle sheathing and enclosed porch,
! appear to be reversible.
