Realtor Comments

Save Me! Back on the market. Buyer defaulted. I am tired and alone, but I can be made beautiful again. The courthouse says I was built in 1900, but I think I may have been built in the late 1870s. I have some really nice original woodwork, including a simple but elegant fireplace mantle, wavy glass windows that touch the floor, and double doors on my parlor that add to my charm. My rooms are not too big and not too small. My original structure seems to be the most sound, but my additions need attention. I sit on a pretty nice lot that runs to the ally. Now, I have some leaks, and I am a little crooked, but most anything can be fixed, right? Please save me, and bring me back to my old self, again. I would love to share my history and future with you.

Family History

Dutton

Mrs. JF. Dutton ( 1870-1940) lived and died in this home.

Morris

After Mrs. Dutton’s death, Thomas O. Morris (1909-1992) , and his wife Beatrice Trammell Morris (1903-2001), purchased the home. Thomas was a supply clerk for a plastics manufacturing company, and Beatrice was a Western Union employee for 34 years as well as working for Sears. She was a member of State Street United Methodist Church, where she was very active in the Wesley Philathea Sunday School Class. For several years she was a Red Cross Volunteer during World War II, did volunteer work with the Twin-City Service Center,  and the Golden Age Club at the YWCA. She enjoyed hosting events in her home for the Shamrock Garden Club. Per a newspaper article, in the 1950s, the property was a garden paradise.  The couple had one daughter late in life, Betty, who lived in the home with them.
