Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
Hannah W. Sheeley purchased the lot in 1891 for $500, and she built this house. The house is a modified Queen Anne style. Large scrolled brackets support the west bay window, and there is an interesting hexagonal dormer on the north side. The east façade has a jerkin head roof and the chimneys are corbeled. Other decorative details, evident during the initial architectural survey, are now probably hidden under the siding. In 1899, the house was seized in a legal action by the Franklin Savings and Loan. Later, it was purchased by Ruth T. Schenck and after her death in 1907, sold to Granville C. and Sarah Tullis. Granville Tullis was a gardener, and he is shown living at this location in the 1900 directory
