About the construction
- Description
- Gable front and wing, vernacular, Greek Revival style house. Gable front is one and a half stories, and the wing is one story. Wide cornice band around house. Partial width porch on gable section has small brackets and spindlework. The porch also has wrought iron supports, balustrade, and railing. Wing section has separate entry door, and a porch on south facade. Modern, one car garage to south. Asbestos siding.
- 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.
