Here is a copy of the NRHP application (PDF).

However, the nomination survey for Union Hill’s designation on the National Register of Historic Places shows 608 N 24th Street as ca 1915.

The author of that document did her research well (using many of the sources you cite and others). I’d take the NPS district nomination’s word for any construction date.

1111 N. 23rd is just outside the Union Hill district…on the north side of Carrington.

A Fairmount Nat Reg. survey is in the works now, isn’t it JM?

Some research at Valentine as well as the State Library for Tax and Permit searches along with searching out the Mutual Assurance, Beers, and other later insurance maps held at the library, and city directories can help zero in just when the house was actually built.

There were not one but 2 big-ass weed-trees growing up, thru and out the 2nd story on back of the house prior to restoration. It was an amazing project to watch. Kudos to the Mathews family and their vision.

I walked thru that house with a well known renovator/house flipper 6-months before the current owners bought it and he said, “Awh, they’re asking too much for it.”

Fortunately, the right owners came along. Sometimes, all we need is just a little more time.
