Some of the Stick Style detail on the side of the porch remains. This basic cottage type was used as early as the 1870s and remained popular until the turn of the century. The ready availability of the interchangeable wood details of porch, window surrounds and gable trim could give the cottages an Eastlake, Stick Style, or Queen Anne look. This house and 1446 were both built by Desdomonia B. Wasson as rental units.The cottage has seen a number of different tenants over the years, including a steamfitter, a policeman, and Charles F. Neese, a baker, who occupied the residence from 1916 to 1925.Old Northside Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1979 single-family dwelling
