1830 Marion Street
Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps tell a story of great change that occurred between 1904 (pictured) and 1910. Initially, the home of C.Y. and Maggie Nesbit, a one-story, square-shaped dwelling occupied this lot. Within six years, a two-story, rectangular residence with a façade-width porch was erected. During that time period, jeweler F.J. Williams and his wife Mamie, appear to have had the financial means to construct a larger house in the latest architectural fashion.
