609 E. Hospital Street 2011 Summer Survey
A single story red brick craftsman style bungalow with a gable and wing composite shingle roof. The wing features a hipped roof while the main structure makes use of a front gable design. The roof, currently, utilizes overhanging white vinyl boxed eaves without brackets. A partial front porch contains two segmental arches facing the street with a third segmented arch on the side. A wheelchair ramp attaches to the porch, running from a nearby parking area. Physically the property appears in excellent condition. The yard shows signs of overgrowth.
Significance: In 1924, Charles B. Hagans, a bookkeeper for a local business, acquired this property from the Mast Estate. Fire insurance maps produced by the Sanborn Company show this house built between 1922 and 1929 (; ). In all likelihood, Hagans either contracted for the building of the current home or became the first owner of the newly constructed house. Later, Sanborn maps show an L-shaped wing added to the back of the house sometime between 1929 and 1946 ().
