515 Fourth Street

        Built in 1908, this residence was one of a cohesive neighborhood block.  It was built in 1908 for Earl N. Wood and was the first home in the Wooldridge addition to the city in 1907.  A restriction was placed in the deed stating “no barns or stables are to be erected on the lot.”  The reason for this seemed to be that the rear portion of the lot was situated in close proximity to the developer, Mr. E. O. Wooldridge.  The Box style included an east entrance protected by a one-story porch which wraps around the southeast corner to a one-story rectangular projecting bay.  This raised porch has a molded concrete block foundation, piers, and balustrade.  On the north is a two-story rectangular projecting bay which extends to the attic level.  Renovations include closing in of the west second story sun porch into a dressing room and the finishing of the basement into a recreation room.  An alley is to the west, and there is a shared asphalt drive to the south.
