The frame part of the house was the former home of Mrs. Effie Leonard. Mr. & Mrs. R. Eldon Laird, an attorney. bought the house in 1936. Some remodeling of the frame house created a New England style farm house. Construction of the brick portion began almost immediately. Some of the materials used in this house were recycled/salvaged from the previous house on the site. The home is still surrounded by a large lot.
