This Queen Anne-style double house was the home of a co-owner of the Fulton Opera House (Fulton Theatre) in the late 1800s. Edgar Stoner Gleim and wife Ida (Yecker) Gleim lived here at 439 W. Chestnut St. (on the left). Mr. Gleim co-owned the theatre with his wife’s brother, Charles A. Yecker.
The house was built ca. 1887. It features shingled cross gables in a hip roof, brick corbelling, sandstone lintels, and a central shed dormer. The porch has historic balustrade and frieze.
