Description:	621, 619, 615 - 617 Lockerbie St., Indianapolis, 1976, View to southeast along Lockerbie Yes George H. Webber House 621 Lockerbie Street c. 1870 The Webber’s purchased the lot and are first listed in the City Directory as occupants in the year 1873. George H. Webber was a blacksmith for the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Indianapolis Railroad shops. Emma Webber was listed as a clerk in 1874, and Frank and Charles were firemen for the C.H.& I. R.R. in 1876. The house was probably built between 1867 and 1873 by Amos Krewson. It appears that Krewson built this house as a rental property as well as its neighbor to the west at 619. The house was recorded in the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1970 and 1971. The frame house is two stories in height with a gable and hip roof. Three decorative brackets are located in the front gable, and exposed rafter ends are decoratively sawn. The present character of the house dates from around 1905. Between 1898 and 1915 a major remodeling campaign resulted in the addition of the hipped roof addition, the classical L plan verandah, and the addition of a large three-part front window which probably replaced two original window openings. The house was restored to its present condition in 1978.
