511 South Main Street - Circa 1900, this one story Greek Revival cottage was rebuilt after a fire destroyed the house in 1893. As the fire started in the top of the house, neighbors removed most of the furniture and handmade mantels from the walls. The mantels were then placed in the present cottage when it was rebuilt.
The hipped roof, frame dwelling has a full facade porch with Victorian turned posts, lacy swan brackets and a gabled entry. The interior is a center-hall plan, two room deep, with interior chimneys. The ceilings are 12' high and the doors are 8' high. In 1940's the back porch was enclosed to create additonal rooms.
