Matt Cohen 602 S. Grand
Revision 1985
Built speculatively by builder J.H. Baverly, this large brick house was bought,
soon after it was completed, by Frank Alderson, treasurer of the Avant Courier
Publishing Co. , as a rented property. According to the Avant Courier of March
18, 1899, Alderson purchased the newly built house, and rented it to Burr Fisher.
Within a year, Fisher had moved into his fine Colonial Revival style house,
209 S. Grand, which was finished in 1900. Alderson himself lived here temporarily
in 1900 until his own house, a brick Queen Anne style cottage at 420 S. Grand,
was completed. By 1909, Charles Hoy owned the house. The house is typical
of the several other brick houses built in the district around the turn of the
century by local contractors.
