According to an email from Phyllis McAllister there is an old changing room on the lowest level of their house. 

Concerning establishing a building date for this house in 2008: From Carol C. Cole to Phyllis McAllister - Lee and I have been working many hours on Lot 153 on a part of which your home is located.  We've come up with dates that make sense looking at the deeds for all those houses.  We believe your house was built in 1917.  The people with deeds earlier than that owned various bits of land all over Terrace Park and were no doubt owning land for investment purposes.  The Jones family is listed in this location in the 1920 US Census so the house can't possibly be built in 1922 as the auditor has it.  The reason for trying to date the building of this house in 2008 was to make the McAllisters qualified to apply for a historic plaque, which they then bought. 

Legal description of land: "Situated in the County of Hamilton and the State of Ohio, and in the Village of Terrace Park, bounded and described as follows: being a part of Lot No. 153 of James W. Sibley's Subdivision of Terrace Park of Lots 3 and 4 of Camden City, Columbia Township in Section 23, Township 5, Fractional Range 2, of the Miami Purchase, a Plat of which is recorded in Plat Book 7, page 19 of the Hamilton County, Ohio Records of Plats, and being more particularly as follows: BEGINNING at the east line of Miami Avenue at a point 400 feet northwardly from the southwest corner of said Lot No. 153, thence in an easterly direction parallel with the South line of said Lot No. 153 and 400 feet there from, 120 feet more or less to the Little Miami River corner to said Youtsey's lot; thence up the river 85 feet to a stake; thence in a westerly course parallel with the first line 120 feet more or less to the East line of Miami Avenue; thence in a southerly course with the east line of Miami Avenue 85 feet to the place of beginning."
