Pearson House

-A A +A
c. 1845. Northeast corner of Dodge St. and County Rd.
  • Pearson House (David Gebhard and Gerald Mansheim)

The first floor of this late Federal-style house is of stone, while the second floor is of brick. There is a pair of wall chimneys in each of the gable ends of the building. The house was rebuilt after being damaged by a tornado in 1968; the present four-light double-hung windows are not original. The house was probably designed by its owner, Franklin Pearson, who was a master mason.
