Messer House

Messer House (Long/Teachout Property), 550 10th Avenue South; c. 1858. Now converted to apartments, the house is two stories high with attic and gable roof. The front wraparound porch is a later addition with the eave work probably altered at the same time. The brick walls and stone lintels over the windows have been painted. An ornate chandelier from the house is now in the house located at 2314 North 2nd Street. An early mansion in Clinton, this house design is of simple vernacular style with Federal style influence.
