65 N 6th St.

The property at 65 N 6th St was sold to Milo & Rosie Ann Towne in 1900 (he was a farmer).Sometime before 1904, it was sold to rancher Tesse Brent. In 1904 John Mahnkin, who was single at the time, became the owner. John Mahnkin was a cattle rancher, and a member of the group that founded the Carbondale Town & Land Co.. He built this home in 1910. Five years later, he sold the property, and the home would belong to four more families before it was sold in the early '90's to Mariangela Causa-Steindler. The style is known as rustic, and evidently, this property was one with the adjacent parcel until 2009. Traits of a rustic home often include hewn logs with stacked corners, and a simple gabled roof form; there is often a steep slope with wood shingles. Here we see characteristic wood shingle infill above the eave line and minimal window openings.
