Christophe C. Rhea, a policeman, was the first tenant listed for this extraordinary dwelling in 1914. A frequent turnover of tenants was typical of the house for a number of years. The Reverend John A. Sport and his wife purchased the proper t in 1940; the residence remained in the Sport family until 1972. Of rectangular plan, the house presents a classical temple front below a Bungalow style gable roof. Four composite order columns contain a second story gallery with a turned balustrade. The wood-framed house was clad with asbestos siding in 1957; a side stairway is an addition of 1971. The house has been subdivided into a triplex since 1940. With restoration, this unusual house might be eligible for the National Register.
