Thomas R. Thornburgh House
1417 North New Jersey Street
1889
Although the original porch post is gone, the other Queen Anne features remain: imbricated shingles, flashed glass in the gable window and unusual artwork on the cornice boards. The gable has decorative infill which has probably been lost from the front gable. The structure was erected by Thomas R. Thornburgh.
Thornburgh was a druggist who operated a business on Fort Wayne Avenue for many years. He lived in the home from the time it was built until his death in 1916. His widow, Nellie, remained at this address only until 1917, at which time the residence was sold to William A. Maloy, a grocer whose shop was located at 515 North Alabama.
