22 North Holcomb St.
East side of street
This cottage, close to the shore of the Mill Pond, while apparently built about 1920, didn't become a separate piece of property until 1928. A bungalow style cottage, this house has changed little since it was built.
Official Property Description:
- Part of Lot 5 of the Northwest Addition to Nelson W. Clark's Original Plat of the Village in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 20 in Independence Township.
- Lot 9 of the Supervisor's Replat of the Northwest Addition and part of the Original Plat.
Significant Property History:
- Note: All the properties currently located in the Historic District were originally part of a tract registered by Butler Holcomb with the federal government on October 22, 1831. Thus, abstracts for these properties, when they exist, show the original transfer to be from the United States to Butler Holcomb and may also include references to then President Andrew Jackson.
