110 Dry Ave. House. Topped by a hip roof, this modest frame bungalow has a gable roofed front porch supported by square posts on brick piers and a decorative picket balustrade. Windows are two-over-two sash. Alterations include the addition of aluminum siding and the enclosure of the open triangular gable braces.
The house had had multiple owners through the years but is most associated with the Wiley D. Jones family. It is called the Baxter Jones House for his son, according to Friends of the Page-Walker Hotel, a local historical society.
