Matt C-ohen 212 S. Third
Revision 1985
This simple house may have been owned as a rental property by Squire C.
Kenyon, who built 204 S. Third nearby, and whose name appears on the 1904
sewer permit for this site. The house shows lingering traits of the Greek
Revival style, such as its side-hall plan configuration, and peaked window
lintel boards.
In 1927 John E. McCart.hy, a driver for the Kenyon-Noble Lumber Co. , was
listed as the resident.
Alterations , most notably the removal of the porch posts and the addition of
asbestos shingle sheathing, reduces the significance of the house to only
marginal .
