The property behind it (on Locust) was the original Capplemann home, and the two daughters were gifted the frontage as wedding presents. - The "Spite" House: One of these gifted lots contains the local "spite" house. - Site Layout: A barn previously stood behind the house where the garage and apartment are now located. The history of this home speaks for itself and adds significant value to the listing.
