114 E Dayton St - ?

Not in WAHI.  Age unknown.  Seems to appear on 1855 Harrison Map in original location.

This tiny house is boxed in behind rows of three flat apartments at the corner of Pinckney and Dayton.  It certainly doesn't look like this was its original location.  Notice the classic Greek Revival returns.  Looks very 1850s.

108 E Dayton - next door

Next door is another shadow dweller, a little newer looking in appearance.  It probably doesn't meet our 1861 criteria here. But it shares a story with its neighbor.  An inspection of the Sanborn Maps helps explain what happened here.  The blue house at 114 E Dayton pretty clearly came from 203 N. Pinckney, if you look at the 1908 vs the 1942 map.  The red house at 108 looks like it might be the same house as the old 108-110 E Dayton, if you compare 1902 to 1908.
