Revision 1985
Before being substantially remodeled in the summer of 1985, this house was an
excellent example of a typical, speculatively built brick house in this district
dating to around the turn of the century, most of which are attributed to local
builders A.J. Svorkmoe 'and O.J. Moe. The house, like several others, appears
to have 'been based on "House Design No. 1061" in Hodgson's mail order house
+ pattern catalog.
Since Moe is listed as the occupant here in 1900, it is assumed that he was
the builder. While he shared the house with rancher Alexander H. Black in that
year, Black lived here alone in 1904. By 1910, Fred W. McKay, a bookkeeper
at the Commercial National Bank, was residing here. McKay two years later built
a new house at 922 S. 3rd Ave.
The first floor on the west and south sides has recently been expanded and enclosed
with vertical boards.
