4 East Park Road
4+ Bedrooms, 2+ Bathrooms?
Built before 1897
4 East Park Road is the left half of the 4+6 East Park doublehome, which combined is one of the largest properties on the street. It was built sometime before 1910, as evidence by its presence on the census, but Zillow incorrectly claims it was built in 1920.

History
The home is not present on the 1910 census, although this is possibly because the home was integrated at one point, since 6 East Park Road is definitely on the census. R.W. Hays is listed as the resident of 6 on the 1897 Mueller Atlas.
1920 census: Johnson sisters are living with a boarder.
| Name | Age | Relation to Head of Household |

The Esreys lived in the home at least as late as 1941, but it's not as clear, given that Mary the 1930 census seemed to have died at the address in 1948.
