1904 - The three houses (709 - 713 - 717) were built at or about this time. They originally were identical. The style is Victorian Folk with front gable — cross gable construction. Distinguishing features are the pent roof board across the front gable at the cave, the triple windows on the gable and on the first floor with simple windows surrounds and block trim. The brick foundation is exposed on three sides and with the slope of the land forms a full story walkout basement. The porches were originally Queen Anne turned posts with cut spindle work. The porches under the principle roof are unusual.
