It stood originally on the lot where the William and Nora Anderson House (#28) now is situated at 1577 Court.
The Andersons purchased the cottage in its original location from Fannie E. Spayd and her husband in 1909 and lived in it until the 1920's, when they built their new house. At this time, Grace McLaughlin moved the cottage across Court Street to land behind her house (conversation with Pat Cherrington, January 1986). Mrs. Spayd and her husband had purchased the cottage in 1906 for $1250 from August Wilhelm, who bought the property in 1903 for $250 and presumably built the cottage. (Cf. commentary on the Robertson-McLaughlin House, #29.)
