Description: Before 1999 addition - Cape Cod, brick and siding, gable roofs. Out of order on street.  It's between 315 and 409.  Now greatly expanded with 2 stories on the main part of the house.  
Story 1: Always a residence but the Fays had their art studio in the basement where they sold paintings and gave lessons.  Another owner was a composer and made the garage into a music room.
Story 2: Craig Lee Fuller, owner 1984-1986 is "one of the finest songwriter/performers to come from this area.  He founded a band in the early '70s called Pure Prairie League, which reunited several years ago and is still performing today with many of the original members.  "Amie" is certainly their best-known song, which Mr. Fuller both wrote and sang.  I believe he now lives in North Carolina with his family, and his son has recently been making appearances onstage with his dad!  The guy was and is a major talent in the musical world."  Information in January 2008 from John Maggard.
