117 N 8th St

117 North 8th Street was also part of Weaver Ranch. Records show the parcel was purchased from Philip E. Weaver in 1899 by Charles Lehow, who became the prolific builder in Carbondale. He built the schoolhouse in 1890. Our survey estimates that this home was built around that same time, but it may have been after the parcel changed hands. In 1925 it transferred to Ella Lehow, and various owners have occupied it since. Late Victorian details include the cross-gabled roof, as well as decorative shingles and cornice boards in the gable ends. Like many other homes in town, the metal roof replaced asphalt shingles sometime in the 1980's. The front porch has been modified, and the lattice added. Again, the blue and green spruce trees are over 100 years old.
