The current look of these two houses is from circa 1915, but it is likely they were built in the 1880s.  Lawshe Baird remodeled 515 E. Presqueisle around 1915, and WM. Burchfield remodeled 519 at about the same time. The buff brick house at number 515 dates prior to 1895 and was originally a two-story frame structure with a chicken coop in the rear. Around 1900, it was brick-encased and had a third floor added to the front only.
