This gable front Greek Revival cottage, built c. 1840, served for decades as the Co-op office. The detailed, Queen Anne woodwork on the porch was noteworthy, but unfortunately the porch fell to decay and was removed over 10 years ago.
In NPA’s 1995 Annual Report, it was noted that the Co-Op was seeking to demolish the structure or locate a willing person to move it. Efforts were made to move the property, but no willing buyer or location was secured. The location of this home adjacent to the Co-op grain elevators and the years of neglect left this lovely structure severely threatened. The building and the grain elevators were eventually razed in 2018.
Location: Walnut & S. 9th St.
