The first residents of this brick house no doubt watched the scaffolding go up for the First Presbyterian Church. The original owner of 35412th Street was D.A. Hopper, a banker. In 1905 this house became the home of Rev. A.U. Depencier, rector of St. Matthew's; in 1909, before the days of his clinic at 1039 Louise Avenue, Dr. Bigelow, M.D. lived here. Although the buildings are now showing their age, the window arrangements, the brick detailing, and the detailed bargeboards are evidence that aesthetic concerns and quality were not restricted to the larger homes in the area at that time.
