VACANT
Historically, a large house stood on this parcel, but it had been destroyed by 1974. An in-ground swimming pool was constructed to serve the property to the rear (506 E. Rosemary), but the parcel is currently under separate ownership and not in use.

In the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Site.

SWIMMING POOL
c. 1980
Modern, in-ground concrete swimming pool is largely overgrown. In the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Structure.

GAZEBO
c. 1980
Likely constructed concurrent with the swimming pool, the hip-roofed frame gazebo has a metal roof and has been enclosed with plywood walls. In the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Structure.
