A side-gabled form with cornice returns, frieze band, corner boards and center gable indicate a settlement house, but the 2/2/ windows, shutters, modern front door and stoop cast doubt on that assumption. Research and interview revealed that this isn’t a settlement-built house, but was constructed for Joseph Thompson in 1906 after subdivision of the Pleasant Hill addition in 1903. A case in point, this house confirms the importance of historical research and the care that must be taken in making assumptions.
