This residence was created from combining two older one-story houses with a third central section. The first house, the 1885 Dollar house, is a two-room frame structure with entrance vestibule served by double-leaf four-panel doors. The second house, the Hutchins House built circa 1860, originally was a one-story structure with an end chimney.
