The Marlin-Calhoun-McLeod House, ca. 1890

Named by its present owner the "Veranda House," because of its attractive porches, this simple, gable front house was built by L. C. Marlin. The extensive two story, wraparound porch features intricate jigsaw cut trim. The wide verandas cut off the sun, shaded windows kept exterior walls cool and provided expanded living space. Note the near twin house facing across the street.
