413 East High

This 1850’s Missouri German home was built for commercial use. The first story changed from flanking windows to three multipane windows with an entrance. The top addition of the building was used as a porch. Additions to the north include a two story brick addition built in many sections. In 1917 the two story front section was a garage; the rear addition was a Blacksmith and Machine Shop. A tornado during the late 1890’s caused a considerable damage to the front and probably accounts for the façade changes. The structure faces south onto High Street.
