The Garrity house photographed by William Morris Smith in 1865. The building is sided with broad planks, and the roof is clad with wood shingles. It apparently faced south, taking advantage of the views to the river. The massive chimney indicates that the kitchen was in the tallest, shed-roofed wing at left. The home expanded with the family; the Boschke map suggests that the nearest shed addition was the last, constructed after about 1857-1859. The building was demolished in the 1880s.
