Susie E. Morris House. Pyramidal cottage with weatherboards, boxed eaves, a glazed and paneled door, and a hipped porch with boxed classical posts. Windows have replacement 111 sash. Susie E. Morris, widow of R. C. Morris, lived here in the 1920s. [1921, 1930 CD]

In 2003, the house was rather massively altered at the rear and throughout the interior. "Modernized."

For years, it was owned by Elijah Tinin Murray (1898-1968) and his wife Otey Newcomb Murray. (died in 1967 at age 68).  A talented cabinetmaker who executed some of the woodwork in Duke Chapel, he worked for years for a company that made high-end reproduction furniture, Newcomb's Reproductions, 3233 Hillsboro Rd.
