Description:
This is a rectangular, asbestos shingle sided, 2-story, mid-19th century residence with a front facing gable. A porch spans the front façade. Its roof is supported by square posts and the balusters are square. The windows are 1/1 double-hung sash on the front; they are varied on the sides.
Established African-American occupancy/ownership during the period of significance:
1930 – George Cooper
1901 – John H. Tyler
1883 – John Tyler, son of Zachariah, served in 26th USCT
This is the rear of the lot facing S. Plain St, previously owned by John’s father.
The 1893 Sanborn map indicates this is one large lot with 2 houses, this one, and the one facing S. Plain Street. By 1904, John’s father’s house is gone, but the lot has not been divided.
