1. C.D. Henry House Marker

Inscription. This American-Victorian (Queen Anne) house was built in 1889, by its owner Charles D. Henry. Henry was a building contractor who specialized in brick and built other houses in Florence of similar architecture. These probably included the Colton-Freeman House nearby. With the introduction of brick as the "new" building material and with a brick yard in town, this material came into general use for both homes and commercial buildings.

Considered one of the earliest fired-brick residences remaining in Florence, this structure is an excellent example of the Eastern architectural influence which symbolized a new era of buildings in Florence in the late Territorial Period.
