City Directories and History: 1914 – R.P. Boyd, Mrs. R.P. Boyd, Luther Boyd, Isabelle Boyd, 1922 – A. Carlos Wright, Clk….(Initially the house was constructed in 1908 for R.P. Boyd and family, who moved from the corner of Hampton and Black Streets.)
This was the long-term home of WTS teacher, Kathryn Hoke. Mrs. Hoke, was loved by hundreds of students who attended WTS. At the year’s end, she would take students on a special trip to Chester by train.
