Description:

A two-story Victorian house. Dormer facing the street with wood trim. Shutters on windows of the first two stories.

Background:

This house was built at 32 East Haines Street on the site of the original Methodist meeting house. The old meeting house had been used for an infant school until the 1890's. This house was thus built around the turn of the century.

Demolished.
