A 1905 mechanic’s lien indicates that J. B. Kirby and M. John McElreath constructed this frame house for carpenter George M. Heatherly. Heatherly and his wife first resided in the house in 1907; several members of the McElreath family also resided there in early years. A typical vernacular form, the cottage is a hipped mass with L-plan, projecting gabled bays and a half porch.
