James A. Sowers House (Baptist Parsonage)
1879. 601 E. Main St.
Built as a parsonage for the local Baptist church, this house is one of the town's more highly decorated frame dwellings. The L-shaped building is of frame construction clad with beaded weatherboards and has a cross-gabled roof detailed with a curved bracketed soffit and lacy vergeboards. Segmental-arched windows, arched windows, and a porch with paneled square columns add to the lively exterior.
