Historical significance (include explanation of themes checked above) <br /> - 2 story "L" addition in back - 1914 approximately addition on left side <br /> ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE <br /> The origin of the unusual roof shape of this house is uncertain. In all <br /> respects except the roof line, the house is similar to the Mansard cottages <br /> immediately to the south and it was built at a similar date. Perhaps the roof <br /> represents remodeling of an earlier mansard roof, or simply the preference of <br /> the original builder. <br /> HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE <br /> Unlike most of the other Mansard cottages on this block, which were built <br /> as rental properties, this house seems to have been owner-occupied, at least <br /> when it was first built: in 1876 the owner was a Mrs. Turner. By 1898, however, <br /> this house was owned by George W. Sampson, an insurance agent who lived else- <br /> where in town, so the house was probably rented as it also was in 1906 when <br /> owned by George H. Jackson, one of the largest property owners in this section <br /> of town. <br /> 10.
