1029 Jefferson Street
Midtown Neighborhood
Built in the late 1800's, this Country Victorian home retains many of the attributes of the period. Using balloon framed construction, the exterior finish includes a tin roof and wood siding with square head nails, and bubble glass windows with wood pegged working shutters.
The home still contains many of the original features such as exposed band-hewn timbers, porcelain tub, with hardwood flooring in every room.
The addition of the kitchen in the 1920's included authentic appliances, such as an early gas stove and a monitor top fridge, which are still in use.
