Cornelius Fonville House

Cornelius Fonville, who worked as a messenger for the Bureau of Engraving and was an active member of the citizens associations, built the house in 1912. The Fonville House is an example of the Foursquare houses popular in the early years of the century. The original wood siding of the house is covered with white vinyl siding, and the original wood columns have been replaced by metal tracery supports.
