The Mahlon Schooley House
Mahlon Schooley (b.1788), who later helped establish a Quaker community in Iowa, built this brick house in 1817. Like many Waterford dwellings, the original portion is a three-bay brick bank building on a stone foundation, with a metal gable roof. The rain gutters almost hide a mousetooth cornice. The house was enlarged at the rear in the 1840s, and late in that century an owner reconstructed the south wall of the house, adding windows and lengthening the first story windows. |

Asbury Johnson House
Asbury Johnson erected this home in 1886. It is the earliest of the Victorian houses lining Second Street, and is less exuberantly embellished than others of the period. |

The Flavius Beans House
Flavius Beans, proprietor of the Waterford Market, either built or had this house built circa 1899. It is similar to the Asbury Johnson house next door, but the details are a bit more fanciful and ornate.

The Elton James House
Attorney C. Elton James (c.1872-1962) commissioned the Washington architectural firm of Hunter and Bell to design this summer home for him in 1896. He chose a Victorian Queen Anne design. |
