tOriginally identical to 415 N. Tracy standing next to it, this house has had
' its siding replaced. Unlike its neighbor, however, the recessed proch and supporting
corner columns remain intact. Both houses have unusual ashlar foundations,
and are very significant elements in the historic district.
The house was probably originally owned by F.C.Jacobs - either Fred C. Jacobs,
who lived on S. Tracy Ave. , or Frank C. Jacobs, a carpenter who lived at 405
S. Tracy Ave. at about the time this building was under construction. Harry
H. Williams, a road contractor, was the resident here in 1927.
