The Assessor's Office believes that the 1928 Assessor's estimate of a 15-year age (indicating 1913 construction) is probably also fairly accurate, as they were said to be capable and experienced in mak- ing such judgments, so construction in 1913 may have replaced, altered, or supplemented the original 1902 construction. They believe that an architect or other knowledgeable person can make this judgment after analyzing the various features of the house.
