White-French House, 441 Park Ave.
| Description: |
On slide mount: 441 S. Park, Fletcher Place, I-3 Yes White-French House441 South Park Avenuec. 1863Joseph White, a drover, built this simple brick house about 1863. It is unusual because of its brick construction and other details. It appears to be a mirror copy of the Staub House in the Lockerbie Square Historic District. Its most notable features are the unusual door trim and wrought iron balcony trim. The simple proportions and details suggest Federal sources; however, the doorway and later construction date suggest Italianate influences.Joseph and Mary E. White lived in the house until 1869 when the house was bought by John D. and S. Fannie Evans. They lived in the house only briefly. Evans was employed in the State Auditors office. In 1872, Daniel R. and Fannie Brown bought the house. Brown was a broker but there is no other information as to what the commodity was. The house was subsequently owned or lived in by a variety of people including a trader, a glassblower, a hostler, and a peddler.Fletcher Place Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1980 single-family dwelling |
