This American Foursquare was built in 1926 by the same builders who completed many of the homes on Central Court, which is immediately south of this home. If you would like to see more examples of the developments of the Jose-Balz Company, you can continue around the block to Central Court, which backs up to south side of 36th Street.

Like other homes in the neighborhood, this home had been vacant and neglected for a number of years before being bought in foreclosure in 2013. The current owner has made some space alterations to the interior, while keeping most of the original floor plan intact. The work overall has been a restoration, rather than a renovation.
