Dorsey‐Bush House

Samuel Fowler, a carpenter by trade, is believed to be the builder of the Dorsey-Bush House. Fowler purchased the lots in 1904 from Robinson White, the original subdivider. Fowler’s family owned the house until 1919, when it was conveyed to Charles M. Dorsey. Dorsey enlarged the property in 1923 with the purchase of an adjoining lot. The two story, two-bay single-family dwelling has a rectangular, detached rowhouse form. Over the years, the building has been altered and stucco now conceals the original German siding.
