Though small and unpretentious, it should rank beside the more obvious,, finer homes in historical importance. This lot was originally deeded to Henning 0. Worgurmand in 1870. Worgurmand immediately sold the whole lot to Lauritz Larsen in 1871 for $40. In 1874 Larsen sold the section of the lot on the corner where the house stands to Anne Marie Jensen for $400. The increase in price probably means that between 1871-1874 Larsen built the present house. |
