9. Historical significance (include explanation of themes checked above)
This house, which is a unique conglomeration of three seperate
styles and date periods was moved from a site closer to Pleasant Street,
where it had had frontage. This move took place after 1946. Prior to
this the history o-i the house, or rather houses, is unimown. Certain
things however can be said.
First the house originally came from som other site then Pleasant
Street, for there was no structure anywhere near before 1910 or so.
This indicates that there has been at least two moves. Secondly,
although there are three different houses they still maintain
their.own styls so it is with -in reason that the preceding dates have
been set. .
This house is representative of much of Yarmouth history. It is
many houses, it has been moved and it has been useful.
