Alice Dorsey House

Alice Dorsey was a messenger for the U.S. Treasury. She had the house built in 1904 and lived here with her sister, her daughters, and two grandchildren. The house is one of the larger dwellings among the early houses built in Fairmount Heights. The footprint is a variation on the Foursquare house plan, which was popular at the turn of the twentieth century. The home’s original wood siding is covered with synthetic siding.
