Not all single-family homes in the neighborhood were owner-occupied following their construction. This well-maintained brick cottage is a case in point. The original owner was C.E. Davidson, a teacher, but he never lived here. Indeed, a survey of the names and dates of the occupants of this house reveals the dynamic, often restless, nature of a sizeable segment of most urban populations. During the period from 1909 to 1941 no tenant lived in the house for more than two years.
