407 S. -Tracy
I One of a group of three impressive Bungalows, this well-preserved house,
which displays an impressive cobblestone porch apron and similar exterior
chimney, was probably built by Guy A. Ensinger, a local builder. The
house is of primary significance based on its individual architectural
f merits.
I If in fact, this group of three Bungalows was built by Guy Ensinger,
they certainly represent the most ambitious and most notable examples of
that builder' s work in the city.
The original owner was apparently Fred B. Williams, listed as the
Treasurer of the Willson Co. Dry Goods Store (see 101 E. Main) in 1916,
and later an insurance salesman. Willson lived here from 1916, on into
the 1940' s
