| 214 Baltimore | Photo | The lot which originally ran from Second St. to Adams Ave. was purchased by George and Mary Short. Very little history is known about this house or its occupants. The home is a central passage vernacular home with 4 over 4 double hung windows. It features an arched upper light and panel door with an upper transom window. For several years (1940s), an elderly woman named Maude Sheets resided in the home. In later years (late 1960s-2007), it was owned by George Shaffer. George was a handy man of sorts and made his living as a gardener until ill health forced him to retire. By the time the house was purchased again, it had fallen into major disrepair. The new owners had to jack up the floors and foundation, gut the interior and replace ceilings that had fallen in. During the home’s renovation, they were able to retain the original windows. |
