            This Queen Anne/Colonial Revival home is distinguished by the wide and columned front porch.  It was built circa 1910 by the A. J. Baldwin family.  There are twelve foot beaded board ceilings, chair rails and picture rails throughout.  Pocket doors open from the entrance hall to the parlor, and French doors link the parlor to the dining room.

            Upon Mr. Baldwin’s death in 1948, his widow Jewel, purchased the Hollingsworth-Baldwin-Rogers home (#61).  Following several short-term owners, the current owner, Ms. Ann Chambless, inherited the property from her mother, Daphne.
