The home was supposely built in 1920, same year as the peach colored house 2 doors to the south.

This house sits at the end of the street between the jogs, of Main St. The one incident regarding it was the night sometime between Jun 1972 & Sep 1980 when one of the local policemen was chasing someone and was at a rate of speed that he was unable to make the jogs. He radioed in that he was at Main & Mill Streets disabled - looking north from the house I seen nothing - and to satisfy david I had to go out into the middle of Main St. in night gown to see where he was - he was sitting on the front porch of this house then owned by Barshes.
