Also address integrity) <br />The Kelly House is architecturally significant as an intact example of the English Revival style. According to the original building <br />permit, dated September 16, 1930, the residence and garage were constructed for Sinah Kelly at a cost of $6,500. Sinah Kelly and <br />her husband John, whose occupation was given as a Christian Science Practitioner in city directories, remained in the house until <br />1934, when they sold it to Merritt and Mildred Walrod. The home changed hands a few months later, when the Walrods sold it to <br />Jesse E. Swanger, the printer of the Register newspaper, and his wife Rachel. The Swangers owned and occupied the home for <br />seventeen years. By 1951, Thomas Larsen, the secretary and treasurer of Sanitary Laundry, and his wife Celena had bought 2429 <br />N. Heliotrope and lived there for three years. In 1954, ownership shifted again when the Larsens sold the home to Dorothea <br />Houseworth, who stayed in the house for nearly twenty years. Since Houseworth sold the residence in 1972, ownership has <br />changed several times. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />B11.
