York City Directories and History: 1958 – L. Maxie Boyd, 1966 – Guy Dover
This 1930’s cottage was constructed by Joseph Herndon at the edge of his property for a friend who wanted a small home with one bedroom and two baths. Some confusion ensued, and the final product included two bedrooms and only one bath. Hence the contract was voided, and thereafter the house was used as a rental property. In later years, the home stood vacant and dilapidated until completion of a remarkable restoration by Johnny Miller and Bobby McDowell.
