History/Significance: James A. Flanagan, who lived on this property in 1924, may have been responsible for constructing this house, which dates from around 1922. In 1930, William Anderson purchased the house, followed by Charles T. Ritter in 1934. Sometime prior to 1948, Robert P. Baldwin purchased the home; he remained in the house until sometime after 1954.
