Inscription. This home is recognized for having the "Dunnage" or scrap wood that was removed from passing ships and used as siding. Also called the Reeves House as Pop Reeve's lived here from 1951 to 1985. A complete restoration in the early 1990's brought this home back to life. The random width floors have been refinished and the exterior has been kept as it was many years ago. This home is one of the wider homes on this block making a very comfortable living area.
