0177 King Street

Architecture:

• Unique house has truncated gable (low grambrel) roof
• Intact except for bottom floor windows
• Interesting turned posts and brackets on front veranda
• Returning eaves noticeable in corners

History:

• Lot originally owned by George Naugler, a shipwright
• Sold to Arthur Munroe in 1895 for $650
• Deed mentions buildings, but owner as of 1985 was informed it had been built by Munroe, and $650 seems relatively little to pay for a house at that point in time
• Monroe was a fish and supply merchant, also listed in a census as a “clerk”
