1915 Cecil Street

Typical of post-World War II housing, this one-story, side-gabled Period Cottage is three bays wide and double-pile with a projecting, front-gabled bay on the left (northwest) end of the façade. It has aluminum siding, six-over-six wood-sash windows, flush eaves, and rectangular louvered vents in the side gables. A replacement door centered on the façade is sheltered by a projecting, steeply pitched, front-gabled roof and accessed by an uncovered brick terrace that extends to the right (southeast) in front of a front-facing, exterior brick chimney on the façade. A walkway at the rear of the house is covered by flat-roofed, aluminum awnings and leads to a flat- roofed carport at the left rear (northwest). County tax records date the house to 1948 and the earliest known occupants are Joseph Allen, a porter at United Department Store, and his wife, Ernestine Allen, in 1950.

The 1950 City Directory shows the Allens as owners and occupants; but by 1955, the directory shows Mary Bohanon as the owner and occupant of this property.

On August 1, 1952, Ernestine Allen and Joseph G. Gallen sold the house to Mollie Williams.  Ms. Williams sold the house to Mary Bohanon on October 1, 1952.  Ms. Bohanon lived the house for many years.  On July 26, 1990, Mary Louise Bohanon Estate, F. H. Brown, executor sold the house to Redditt Alexander.

On March 28, 1991, Redditt Alexander and his wife, Ida L. Alexander conveyed the property to Sanya E. Alexander.  County tax and deed records do not show the date when Ms. Alexander sold the property.  But on November 2, 2010, Chad Perry sold the house to Kimberly H. Jordan, who is the owner and occupant of this house.
