This home was built in the spring of 1916 by George Dippenk, a buyer with Kerr Dry Goods Company. The Colonial style of architecture is modeled after the famous old New England homes of the same type. The plain gables, the hooded stoop, the shuttered multi-paned windows and the exterior clapboard construction are all distinctly colonial. The open porch on the east side is a further part of the harmony of this plan.

The living room features an open stairwell with carved spindles connecting the two floors, as well as wide crown mouldings and baseboards, bleached oak floors and a colonial mantle flanked by a pair of French doors.

George remained in the home only a short time and since then, it has been occupied by several families, including Mrs. Vee Erwin, a music teacher who gave lessons to many children in the neighborhood; Tim Leonard, an assistant attorney general and state senator; and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Tinney, who added a new roof, refinished all walls, ceilings, and floors, and built a new brick walkway in front. Dr. and Mrs. William C. Orr later purchased the home and featured it on the 1992 sHome Tour.
