On slide mount: 621 E. 9th St., Jul. 93 Yes 621 E. 9th Street1871John P. Bundy, a carpenter, built this one-and-a-half-story cottage in 1871 and sold it immediately to Justinian H. Hull, a real estate agent. Hull may have lived in this house for the first year (1872); however, during that year, this piece of real estate changed hands four times. Until 1895, when Isaac Newton Harlan purchased the house, the property was rented to tenants and therefore, little is known about the earlier residents. Although Harlan is best known as a dealer in fire insurance, he began his career as a public schoolteacher and became principal of the Haughville village schools. He lived at this address from 1896 to 1902 when he moved to Woodruff Place.This one-and-one-half-story house with L-plan and intersecting gables has a one-story shed at the rear which was an early feature of the house. It has undergone such modernizations as a covering of composite siding, changes in window sizes, and the enclosed porch at the L. Carved rafter ends are the only remaining early decorative touch.Chatham-Arch Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1982 single-family dwelling |
