Chapin Park Local Historic District Guidebook <br />Page 39 <br />322 Marion Street (W)Italianate Cottage <br />This house was moved from 112 E. Navarre and restored by <br />Southhold Restoration Inc. in 1982. The house originally stood at <br />420 N. Michigan Street. In 1876, John Greene, a pioneer of Sumption <br />Prairie in Greene Township, built two one-story Italianate cottages <br />for his children. Greene’s daughter, Elizabeth, received the deed of <br />this cottage in 1880. In 1896, the house was moved to Navarre Street <br />possibly by John Wunderlich, a Singer Brothers employee. <br />325 Marion Street (W)Italianate Commercial <br />w/ Late 20th Century Commercial Additions <br />This commercial building has weathered many additions, but its orig- <br />inal rectilinear form is still present and the Italianate style can still be <br />found in the drip moldings around the windows and the bracketed <br />cornice. The two-story section was built in 1887 and has served as the <br />Reass Grocery & Meat Market, the Northside Grocery and the <br />Samacovis Grocery. From 1957 to 1960, the construction of the one- <br />story additions and the remodeling of the exterior façade occurred. It <br />is currently Frank’s Place, a restaurant and adult beverage store. <br />326 Marion Street (W)Gable Front/Folk Victorian <br />The house may have been built around 1882 as a rental property. <br />From 1908 until 1920, Harry and Sarah Moore leased the house. <br />Harry was an oil salesman. Since then, many subsequent residents <br />have lived in this house. <br />328 Marion Street (W)Gable Front <br />Formerly known as 324 or 326 Marion, little information could be <br />found on this residence, but per fire insurance records, it was con- <br />structed prior to 1899. From at least 1938 until 1950, Leroy and <br />Bernice Patterson owned and resided in this home. <br />304 W Navarre Street Tudor Revival <br />Ennis Austin designed this house for Judge William and Mae Romig <br />Miller in 1906. William was a lawyer who developed a few lots on <br />Navarre Street, including a house owned by his law and business <br />partner and brother-in-law, Iden Romig. Mary Harriet Miller, their <br />daughter, was raised in this house. The Millers owned the proper- <br />ty until 1961 when John Horan purchased it.
