Willis L. Parker House/Thomas Leedham House

Willis L. Parker House/Thomas Leedham House, 2209 Garfield Street; 1959; J. Kingsten, Architect; John Sanford, Builder.This two-story house is built with two kinds of brick-red brick for the walls and buff brick for the corner quoins, window arches, and trim. The gable roof has paired soffit brackets. In the 1940's, the house was converted to two apartments, and, in 1968, the attic was converted to a third apartment. The roofing was replaced in 1975 and a wood shingle found bearing the names of the architect and builder. The house is an excellent example to create a handsome building that attracts and delights.
