74 East Washington Street

The original section of this house was built circa 1859, owner Sarah B. Vantine. Like the house across the Street it was built as a Midwestern adaptation of the Greek Revival style. Originally the house had a one & 1/2 (or two story) section on the east with a single story wing to the west. Subsequently, a second story was added to the wing. The broken pediment of the entablature typical of the style may still be seen on the street facing facade. Aluminum siding covers the original wood clapboard.
