History/Significance: George C. and Mary Jordon probably had this house built around 1920 on the site of the Robinson home. John D. Robinson, a stock raiser, and his wife, Mary Alice Moore Robinson, a teacher at Ott School for many years, occupied their home at 400 North Delaware for many years (into the late 1910s) with their children, including John D., Jr., Minnie J., Eugene C., Allie Mae, and Martha C. The Jordon couple lived in their new Bungalow style home into the 1930s. Mrs. M. Agnes Carvin resided at 400 North Delaware Street in the 1940s and 1950s.
