I am beginning to think that this beautiful old house on the southwest corner of the Ohio-Devonshire Street intersection was the "large and commodious home" of Mary Chester McDaniel and her second husband, John.
I base this conjecture on an item from the Gazette of October 13, 1916:
Mr. and Mrs. J.A. McDaniel are improving their home residence, corner Ohio and Devonshire streets, by building a bedroom at the southeast corner and a 9-foot porch on the east and north sides, which will be both convenient and beautifying.And, hmmm, what do you know? — even today there's a large and commodious home on the corner of Ohio and Devonshire with a porch on the east and north sides.
… I know, this doesn't allow for the possibility of later remodeling, which is why I put a question mark in the title.
