A good example of the Carpenter's Gothic motif is reflected in ornate porch trim and triangular headed windows. Sometimes called the "House of Seven Gables," construction employed the peg and auger method of joining hand hews timbers.

When owned by Dr. Cason, this house functioned as both a home and an office. An unusual construction technique was employed that utilized three thicknesses of bricks (12") for both exterior and interior walls.

The house also features exterior and interior walls of solid brick and was constructed for Rev. J.R. Stodgehill by W. L. Clardy, who operated a brick yard at the east end of Coffee Street.

This house was built using the peg and auger method by Dr. R. A. Mosely, Sr. who occupied the house as his residence until selling it in 1878 to his son, Dr. Robert A. Mosely, Jr. and his wife Maria. The home is an excellent example of the Gothic influence with its lancet windows and decorative bargeboards.

This was a log and frame house, modified with additions and alternations in 1881 and the early 20th centruy. Felix McConnell, a former resident, introduced the first homestead act in the United States Congress.

Although converted to apartments, this house has remained relatively unchanged. Only a portico and wings were added around 1917.
