History

This group of four brick houses with two bays two and a half stories, Nos. 912-914 1/2, were built, designed, and owned by B.H. Warner & Co. as a speculative project in 1887. The houses have molded brick arches over the windows and a dentilled brick cornice runs the length of the houses.

This house, like No. 914, has doors lowered to ground level and windows fronted by small balconies directly above the doors.

Resident/Owner

1958 -- Betty Harrison
