Stevens-Wrench House
(1910)
622 Northeast 1st Street
Distinguishing features of this two-story Colonial Revival house include curved arches in the joint dormers, Tuscan columns on a wrap-around porch and window shutters. Pine wainscoting, pocket doors and three fireplaces complete the interior. Thomas Stevens, a bank bookkeeper, and his family owned the house from 1910 to 1926; from 1942 to 1982 Ina Joe Wrench, a pioneer woman realtor, had her office and residence here. When purchased in 1982 the house was in a dilapidated state. The painstaking conversion of the house to the law offices of Fine, Farkash & Parlapiano, P.A., was begun in 1982 and completed in 1984.
