626 E. Morgan

          Abstract information indicates that a portion of the house was built between 1876 and 1883 by Henry Hoffmeister, a teamster.  Additions were done in the early 1900’s.   This little structure shows the tradition of styles and architectural motifs within the community.  On the northwest is a later porch which has molded concrete block columns.  The concrete floor extends across the full length of the north façade.  The entrance has a transom.   There is a pent roofed addition, covered with composition siding across the south, including a small addition on the south of the east rectangular bay.  A hand-carved fireplace graces the living room.  A gable roofed outbuilding sheathed with corrugated metal, is at the alley to the south.
