401 Lisgar gets a new porch
Built as single, now a threesie plus a hair salon, this corner was without a house until the late 19th Century. The Polk & Woodburn directory for 1890-'91 lists #401 as "private grounds" while Might 1901 indicates a stable. The latter publisher contradicts himself in 1909 (James J. Campbell, clerk, may or may not have lived there). By 1912, Might lists Patrick O'Connor, no occupation.
Goad confirms sheds and a small stable on the lot as of 1888, possibly associated with an adjoining address on Kent. He shows the present configuration (flat roof, brick on wood, sans second-storey sunroom) on his 1912 reprint.
