| Description: |
On slide mount: 602 Fletcher Ave., (FP) Rear view Yes Van Deusan House602 Fletcher Avenue1875Most of the detailing has been removed from this 1 1/2 story cottage. The asphalt shingle siding probably hides some decorative elements. Chauncey Van Deusen purchased this lot in 1870 and subsequently built this house. A railroad worker, Van Deusan (also spelled Van Dusan and Van Duzen) lived here only a year before his death.His widow, Kate, moved from the house following the death of her husband, but apparently retained title to the property. She returned to this address in 1894 and lived here until 1900.Charles S. Devore purchased the house about 1906. A traffic manager at the G & J Fire Company, he remained here until 1914, after which the house apparently was used as rental property.Fletcher Place Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1980 single-family dwelling |
