Ratcliff-Allison House (Earp's Ordinary)
c. 1813. Later additions; restoration. 200 E. Main St. Open to the public
In scale and plan, this structure is typical of small houses of the area in the early nineteenth century. Although those were normally built of wood, this house is constructed of brick, which perhaps accounts for its survival. Each floor has two rooms.
