Revision 1985
Miss Kate Calvin built both this house and the one next to it, 609 S. Grand, on
what was one large lot, in 1901. The Avant Courier in June of that year noted that
construction was proceeding on Calvin' s new large residence, which would be "hand-
some" and "modern" when completed. The article probably referred to this house,
the larger of the two. Unfortunately, substantial alterations decreased the archi-
tectural significance of this unusual house.
