Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Round House, built by Ramon Alexander in 1854, 311 to 317 South Main Street (through to Spring Street) south from Third Street, ca.1880-1885. A child on a tricycle rides on the sidewalk in front of it. It is fronted by a wooden fence. Trees grow in the shallow yard just behind the fence. The house was so-named because of its round footprint and conical roof. It was owned by George Lehman and last used as a kindergarten school.
