Built
circa 1903 and typical of Wilson’s modest turn-of-the-century Victorian
cottages, this L-plan frame house was apparently built as rental property
for J. T. Williams, the proprietor of a dry good store.
It is one of four rental properties belonging to Williams.
The
house is sheltered beneath a cross gable roof with elaborate cut-out
louvers enframed by returning boxed cornice.
The small front (northwest), chamfered post-supported porch has
lost its balustrade.
The
rooms in the house include a living room, dining room, kitchen, one bath
and two bedrooms. The house
needs extension work in the rear exterior which could be an asset if
wanting to add on to the structure making way for a new kitchen and an
additional bath. Many of the
historic features are still intact including four fireplaces.
The
house is not livable in its present condition.
State historic tax credits are available.
