818 W. 4th St. – Avald Becker House

Built in 1926 by contractor William W. Green, this bungalow’s most distinctive features include the Colonial Revival-style porch, the brick chimney, and the small eyebrow dormer on the front slope of the roof. The home’s only known alteration, the addition of a twelve-foot-wide carport on the south elevation, most likely was constructed between 1937 and 1948.

The house was first owned and inhabited by Clarence W. Smith (owner of the Loveland Creamery) and his wife Elizabeth. In 1929, another Loveland Creamery employee, Avald Becker along with his wife Mildred, acquired it. The Becker’s resided here until 1965 or later.
