History and architectural features
Built between 1830 and 1835, this historic structure is a three-story brick dwelling with a low to medium roof and dormer. A three-story brick extension was added in 1909 by its then-owner, architect Wilson Eyre (1858-1944). Eyre purchased the home in 1909, and occupied it until his death in 1944.[2]
