A description of the house can be found on page 20:
This is the southernmost of the pair of houses (402 and 406 South East Street) built for Thomas Alcocke ca.(Submitted on September 21, 2023, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)1870-1880. The two houses appear to have been built as nearly identical and modestly detailed late nineteenth-century dwellings. This front-gabled house retains its weatherboard exterior, brackets, 6/6 sash windows, entrance door with transom and sidelights, and some of its original mantels and the interior stairway. The original 1-story rear wing has been raised to 2 stories, and there is a 1-story addition to the south. Miss Susie Thornton lived in this house for many years.
