Regarding James Henry Coons House. Excerpt from the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Fourth Ward Historic District, which includes this property:
The Coons House, an 1884 brick cottage, is one of the earliest houses in the district and one of the least altered. This complex house has two parallel gables, the southerly set back behind a cross gable. An original brick outhouse sits behind the house. J. H. Coons was district manager for Mutual Life Insurance Co. and owned the house from 1917 to 1976.
