Whitney Merkley House/C. C. Fay House

Whitney Merkley House/C. C. Fay House (American Federal Savings & Loan Association), 331 4th Avenue South; 1884.A two and one-half story brick structure with corner turret and wide front porch, the building has been successfully converted from residential to commercial use. This conversion, done with sympathy and with minimal change to the house, has successfully preserved an architectural piece of the past. Rich in textures and patterns of the Queen Anne Style, the former mansion is now the home of American Federal Savings and Loan.
