Durham House
611 9th Ave. - c. 1900
This is a very unique house that now serves as a law office. The
house is two stories with the first floor constructed with rusticated
concrete block and the second floor tucked into the attic of a gabled roof.
A notable feature on the second floor is a gambrel roofed dormer on the
south side of the house facing Pruitt Street. The east and west ends
of the second floor are stucco. The most unusual feature of the house
are the two hooded oval windows on the second floor. This house is one
of five homes on the block, all of which have been restored and all date
from the early 1900's. It has been documented that three families have
lived in this structure since it was built. The Slack Family lived in
the house until 1920. The Arnold Family resided here from 1920 until
1938. Finally, the last documented family living there was the Durham
Family. |
