Fred Welsh House

This small Victorian style house was built in 1905 for a grocer named Fred Welsh. It is a typical wood frame house with drop siding and is an example of the earliest development in the area. Many Victorian characteristics are evident such as a prominent bay on one side, and a small sheltered half-porch on the other. The gable trim, gingerbread detailing, fretwork brackets, fish-scale shingles and turned columns are some the decorative Victorian features of 144 West 10th Avenue. The house has been raised, and refurbished in the way of a new chimney, skylights, and a new basement.
