625 Arch St.

Description:	On slide mount: 625 E. Arch, CA Yes 625 Arch Streetearly 1870sThis house and 627 Arch Street were built by the resident-owners of 624 E. St. Clair (now demolished). The St. Clair house was built by William H. Case, a contractor, and was purchased shortly thereafter by Jacob Young, who lived there from 1866 to 1868. Jacob Young and his wife were victims of the infamous Cold Springs Murder (September 13, 1868). Apparently Young had been involved in an illicit monies operation. As the case evolved, the woman found guilty of the Youngs murder was set free due to constant appeals and requests for change of venue. The crime and the resulting trials became the first scandal of its kind in the county.Actual occupants for 625 Arch are unknown and an exact construction date is difficult to determine through title searches because three structures were located on the same property. Judging from the buildings simple form and style and its similarity to other documented cottages on the street, it is likely that it was built in the early 1870s. Aluminum siding and a porch of recent vintage may have eliminated some of its original detailing.Chatham-Arch Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1982 single-family dwelling
