This house on the
corner of 2nd & Dawes streets was the home of Arthur
& Nella (Porter) Dawes. Nella continued living here
after Arthur died and was in her late eighties when she
died. The property was later sold to Wayne & Sarah
Porter. Wayne said the little red brick house at the left
may have been an ice house, or for root storage, having
8inch thick outer wall, with an inner wall and sawdust as
insulation between them. If anyone has information what
this building was used for would like to know. Picture of
the Carriage House below: |
