Several homes in this historic neighborhood have hitching posts and rings standing curbside. County property tax records searches show that the homes in the neighborhood were all built between 1890 and 1896, right when horses were a common form of transportation.
This home is located at 322 E 4th street near downtown. It was built in 2008 to look like it was built in the late Victorian era. The hitching posts are clearly original to the parcel, however.
If taking photographs, please remember to be considerate. These are private homes.
