This diminutive townhouse is a survivor. In the 1890s there were nine of these historic one and one-half story houses on this same block. Today this one is the sole survivor of this form on the block.
The house was built ca. 1844. It is a four-bay frame structure with its original paneled front door.
In the 1880s this was the home of cotton-mill worker John Free and wife Fannie Free, who lived here with their three daughters.
