The Petrie House
(842 Second Street)
When
Mr. Petrie neared completion of his concrete block, Tudor-Cotswold
Revival dwelling, he embedded colored pebbles in the mold reading
"1931" and used the block in constructing the chimney.
The house's design is unique within the context of
local architecture.
“Dad made a mold and then cast each cement block by
hand, one by one. It took a long time to build our houseâ€. - Natalie
