Tracy Of only marginal significance due to substantial alteration, this house, prominently located on a corner lot, is nevertheless signi- ficant for its unusual molded concrete ("pressed stone") veneer on the first floor. Alterations have included complete replacement of windows, door and proch, and the sheathing of all gables and cross gables with asbestos shingles. The house, along with a carriage house of the same material behind it, appears on the 1912 Sanborn Map labeled: "Unfinished and Abandoned. " Though Harry W. Beimstroh is listed on the water permit as the owner, he never lived here. By fi1927, the locally famous theatre operator Alex M. Russel , who ran the Ellen and Rialto Theatres lived here. In 1936 he built the Joyce Theatre. All three are still standing on Main Street. Biblio ra h Ny 1 t Application for Sewer Connection, May 3, 1917, Harry W. Beimstroh.
