Description: 2 story Victorian, siding, gable roof.   
Story 1: One of the so called Railroad Houses built in the 1890s from blueprints sold by a Cincinnati architect for $25.00.  All are in Sibley subdivisions. 
Story 2: This home of Mr. & Mrs. (Clara) Gifford Glascoe was on the December 18, 1962 TP Garden Club House Tour, "Noel dans le Parc".  Advance tickets were $1 but $1.25 on the day and the homes were open from 1-4:30, maybe also in the evening as a tear off stub is missing from the ticket.  The Community House on Elm Avenue was open for Decorations and probably Refreshments. 
Story 3: The Glascoe home was on the 1992 Sunday December 6 "An Historic Walk Through Terrace Park" TP Garden Club House Tour .  Homes were open from 1-5 PM.  Proceeds were used for village beautification.
