Date Of Construction
1850 ca.
Context
Seems to be on the 1872 Birds' Eye View of Saline. May be on the 1854 Bechler's map. Wide cornice band leads to speculation that it may have originally been a gable front, Greek Revival house, and the wing and Victorian porch were later additions. 1878-79 Pray's city directory lists A. H. Howard, a carriage maker, on the "west side Lewis between Henry and Chicago". An Emma Howard (widow Glenn) was listed in 1926. Charles and Emma Howard listed in 1947. Garage added in 1961. 1947 Assessor's file states that it was an "old house" at that time.
