More about this marker. There are two plaques mounted on the side of the building, facing Blackburn Street. One is the NRHP plaque, the other was placed by the American Legion (I think, it has the American Legion seal on the plaque) that was placed pre-WWII. (It references the "World War" rather than WWI.)
