 This 4500 square-foot brick and stucco bungalow was built circa 1915. Architecturally, the exteriors displays triple window groupings with nine-over-one windows, along with a striking eyebrow roofline that protects an upper sleeping porch. While the porch had been enclosed as a kitchenette sometime in the 1950s,
the current owners have re-opened the porch and uncovered the original decorative brackets under the siding that was used to enclose the porch.
The Arts & Crafts interior exhibits high-style Tudor/Gothic influence, with a striking cherry staircase, a two-columned colonnade, and a green-glazed tile fireplace with a brass hood and brackets supporting a cherry overmantel. The ballroom features Arts & Crafts art glass windows and french doors that open to the front porch.
 The house remained intact as a single-family
home until 1959, when it was divided into three apartments. In 1965, the
house was purchased by Daniel E. Bailey, who performed with his brother Charlie
Bailey as
The Bailey Brothers. They were among the first bluegrass acts to employ the tight vocal harmony technique that became known as the
"brother duet" style. While their vocals have much in common with other brother duets of the era, The Bailey Brothers' arrangements are unique in the unusual ways they switch parts
and vary harmony separation.
After the brothers died within ten days of each other in 2003, the home was
purchased from Danny's heirs by the current owners in November, 2005.
