178 S 8th Street sat inside the original townsite, and J.E. and Adela White of Illinois purchased the property in 1888. J.E. was a merchant and a commissioner. They built the home in 1917 and Katherine, their daughter, would later live next door. J.E. passed away in 1929, and Katherine kept the home until 1936. She then sold to Clio and Bert Hinkle, proprietors of the livery stable. Sometime before 1975, Jeff and Anne Bier became the owners, and in the same year sold to Andrew & Priscilla Sue Taylor. In 1998, Priscilla's name was removed and Linda Halloran was added. This Craftsman exhibits the classic moderately pitched gable-on-hip roof, and has a two-story hipped addition. Typical details of the style include numerous windows with leaded glass, beamed ceilings, and dark wood interior detail. The principle facade retains its integrity in most aspects, although the porch post bases have been altered.
