Mrs. Ellen R. Bledsoe purchased this lot in 1924 for $1,500 from the Beacon Hill Land Co. and hired Abey H. Smith to build this house in 1925. Norvelle and Roy R. Bledsoe occupied the house during 1925. Mr. Bledsoe was the manager of Rosenthal Furniture Co. The house is a handsome two- story red brick Georgian Revival design with a steep gable roof. The symmetrical facade has a central pedimented portico supported by Tuscan columns flanked on each side by four double-hung windows.
