After the 1916 Paris fire, which the house survived, it was modernized so that it would be compatible with the newer homes being built around it. A Bungaloid wraparound porch was added before 1920. The result is a main block with lateral gables, a hip roof and paned one-over-one windows, blending Classical Revival and Bungaloid features. William D. Latimer, an investor, lived here for many years. The house is prominently sited on a corner lot and is larger than the older homes around it. Its listing rests on its local architectural importance as a noteworthy hybrid. The house remains in good condition and continues to serve as a residence, with only a recent lattice addition on the 7th Street side.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Classical Revival/Bungaloid influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is good and the house is still used as a residence.
