Historic name: Center Passage House, c. 1885 (built 1885)

About This Property

 This one‐story, wood frame, center passage house appears to have been built about 1885. Alterations include changes to windows and the application of asbestos siding over the original wood. The house retains a moderate degree of integrity. A mechanic’s lien dated June 14, 1949, reveals when some of the modifications were made, including leveling the house, foundation repair and adding asbestos siding to the exterior walls. 

The owners at the time, Edmond and Hattie Johnson, engaged B.R. Hamilton as their contractor for this work. The Johnson family owned the property until sold by Mrs. Johnson’s estate in 1998. This house is potentially significant as an example of a once common plan type (center passage) that is becoming increasingly rare. 

This house is an officially recognized historic resource of the City of Mansfield.
