Notes
  • Significance: This four-bay double shotgun residence is an example of rental housing for African-American working-class citizens in the urban setting of a small city in Kentucky. It represents one type of housing provided by white landlords for their black tenants. The building originally stood on Main Street where it served as a commercial structure from circa 1895-1901 to 1914 when it was moved to its present location and converted to a two-household residence. Although larger than most of the neighboring houses, it is similar in many respects, having a shed roof and a depth of three rooms. However, the dentils under the cornice are notable for this neighborhood.
