  1. 1890

    No. 21-40 rises as one of three 1890 frame houses

    No. 21-40 was built in 1890, one of three two-story wooden houses with steep-pitched gables that the 1968 designation report likens to a stripped-down Queen Anne style. By the time of designation all three had been covered with asbestos shingles, and No. 21-40 had lost its stoop, while its two neighbors had steel stoops.
