Blum House (1901)
David Colonel George worked his way from general store employee to owner of his own hardware store. In 1900, he hired a local carpenter to build this Queen Anne style house for his new bride, Verner Elise McPherson. Although the scrollwork on the porch may call to mind the hand-craftmanship of a romantic past, in reality, it speaks more of nineteenth century mass production and improved transportation systems. The invention and refinement of the electric scroll saw made the inexpensive reproduction of decorative trims possible. These materials could be made and delivered by train at prices the middle class could afford.
