Kenneth B. Bess House
Contributing, ca. 1948.
Colonial Revival style two-story house with a side gable roof and front gable roof dormers. Sanborn maps note the walls are hollow masonry, with brick facing. Attached side porch on northwest corner. Windows are one-over-one, some replacements; picture window at front. Modern replacement doors. Original outbuilding is gone. Central brick stairs and low stone retaining wall around perimeter of lot. This house was not listed in city directories until 1948 with Kenneth B. Bess, a part-time resident of Miami, Florida, listed as the occupant. Good to fair condition.
