This two-story red brick house was constructed about 1924, apparently built on a speculative basis. Zeno C. Ross, an attorney with Ross, Ross and Alexander, was the flrst occupant. He leased the home while a new family residence was constructed in the River Crest area. An investor, Samuel A. Hoskins, purchased the house in 1932 and leased it to a number of tenants. Hoskins’ widow sold the property to Berenice Butzin 1937. Mrs. Butz lived here with her husband Harry, and the home remained in theButzfamilyuntil1984. Basically rectangular in plan, the house features a Colonial Revival pedimented portico and a hip roof with boxed eaves.
