Rosenburg House

Architectural History: 

This structure is a wood frame house with a gable roof and shed entry at the front. It is set on a wood sill foundation and has roll asphalt roofing. It has a variety of exterior wood finishes, including drop siding and plywood.

There are frame additions to the north and west sections of original building. Also there is an addition of a frame garage to the west section.

Cultural History: 

Tax records indicate that this building existed prior to 1930, when taxes were in arrears. J. Rose and W. Puckett purchased the lot in a 1936 tax sale, adding it to their long list of properties in Whitehorse.

The building was used primarily as a residence, although it had various tenants throughout its history, including Mrs. Annette Mansell, proprietor of Annette Ladies Wear Company. By 1946, the building had reverted to residential use. This building has now been demolished.
