As you can see on this lot, small houses were built at the rear of a property until the owner could afford to build a large family home nearer the front of the lot. A larger home was never built on this lot, so we can still view the small house at the rear of the property.

Here on the corner we see a small dwelling at the back of the property indicative of the common practice in the early 1900s of erecting a small house on newly-purchased land, allowing a family to live on the property until enough cash was on hand to begin the construction of the permanent, larger home.
