Revision 1985
Non-contributing due to extensive alteration, this house was probably built
in 1903, along with 324 S. Grand next door, by Col. O.P. Chisholm as a rental
property. The etched glass window transom of this house is the only significant
historic feature that remains visible. The house appears on the 1904 Sanborn
map (identifiable by the recessed porch) on the same lot as 324 S. Grand, which
is shown as under construction. The 1898 bird's eye view - indicates that this
house replaced an earlier two story structure on the lot, which had been built
after 1891.
