721 6^th St.

        This residence was built in the early 1900’s for Frank George, the senior partner in the George and Goodman Furniture and undertaking business.  He also served as Cooper County Sheriff between 1902-1906 and mayor in 1914.  The central bay has a first story entrance with a one-story Eastlake porch on a molded concrete block foundation.  The north and south facades echo each other having a two-story rectangular projecting bay with a gable roof and windows with soldier course, segmentally arched headers.  On the west is a gabled ell with a one-story pent addition on its north façade and a pent on the south with an entrance.  The structure has a concrete retaining wall.  To the south is an open lot where a 1910 structure was razed.  In its place is a gable roofed brick garage which has a drive from the alley to the west.
