Regarding William King House.

William King acquired this lot from John and Carrie King in 1908. (John acquired it from Mary E. Gayman in 1905.) It is believed William King built the house soon after his purchase. Mr. King owned a grocery store at the current location of Bolenbaugh's Hardware store at the time he had this house built. The house remained in King's name well into the 20th century. Historically, a tannery was located at this corner site.
Although the house has been abrasively cleaned, the original form, fenestration and plan of the American Four-Square type are intact. Its exceptional, well-preserved exterior and interior details substantiate the local architectural significance of this house.
