Sophia Begly owned the property from 1864 until 1865 and is listed as living here in 1865 in the Hawes City Directory of that year. The 1866 Sanborn map shows the house to be a two-story frame house occupying most of the narrow half lot. Today little of the residential character is exposed except for the second-story and gable roof. The walls are covered with asbestos siding, but the decorative vertical siding of the gable above the two windows remain exposed. The character of the building today is commercial. It appears as though the Royal Products Company, which occupied the building to the east (534 E. Michigan) since 1930, expanded to the two-story house at 532 around 1950, and demolished 534. Sometime after 1956 the frame double to the west was demolished to make way for the expansion of the western concrete block wing. |
