61 East Washington Street

The original section of this Cape Cod style house was built by Otto Hildebrand in the 1940s. The rear of the house as it was under construction may be seen to the left while the front of the house may be seen in the photo below to the right. Hildebrand was manager/caretaker of Colonel Sidney Dunn Waldon's Pine Knob Estate. This house was meant to be Hildebrand's retirement home according to his daughter, but the family never lived here. The Hildebrands left the area after Waldon's death in 1945. Historically tax records indicate a building on this lot by 1915, owner Henriette Loomis. Reportedly this house burned in the 1930s. There are no photographs or reports of the appearance of the first house available. The house was remodeled in 2013 with the addition of the dormers and a new front porch. A picture of the house prior to the remodeling is shown to the left.
