This *may* be the property deeded by Cozart to Shepard in Book 35, p 353 of the Durham County Register of Deeds, dated 3 July 1906. It consisted of approximately 0.42 acres and lists a purchase price of $2,000. This was when deeds were handwritten, so I'm trying to improve the contrast on the document so I can read the description better.

During the 1940's and until it was demolished, this house was a boarding house operated by Mrs. Georgia Williams. The house was noted in the community for having a large lighted clock on the exterior. The house did not face Cozart St. but faced the house next door which was also a boarding house run by Mrs.Williams sister
