229 Park Ave - Julia McComas Home
Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
This lot was created by subdividing a large lot in 1891, when it was purchased by Julia McComas for $325. This vernacular house is also a gabled “L” and shows Queen Anne influence in its steep gable. The gable contains a decorative brace and a surface of undulating siding . The 1907 directory shows Julia was an employee of Franklin’s American Writing Paper Company. In 1900, this address would seem to have been 10 Park Avenue. The Franklin directory of that year shows renters living here. One of them, Bertha Richard, is listed as a domestic servant.
