The story

The original part of this house was built in 1885-86 for local grocer Robert C. Scripture and his wife Annie (Brown). It was later owned by Robert Hann, a merchant and civic leader.

Constructed as a Victorian residence, it was remodeled and enlarged about 1912 during the ownership of banker B. H. Deavenport.

The mission revival changes were completed by M. B. Whitlock, a local contractor, and feature a decorative rose window on the third floor.
