The carriage house in back of the home sheltered the horse and buggy used to make house calls by Dr. Jenkins. He and his wife Rose resided here for more than sixty years.
Chiropractors, Doc and Belle Keough, purchased the home in 1986; Doc cared for patients on second floor in his retirement. After Doc's passing, Belle remained living here with the help of her son until 2016, when she moved to an assisted living community.
The front porch is original to the home.
