A student rental!, funny-looking, in Athens, Ohio.

I hope the renters are diligent about their studies instead of partying all the time.

According to my interpretation of Sanborn fire insurance maps, this was built sometime between 1890 and 1895, at which time its address was 1205 Congress Street instead of 19 South Congress Street.

-----------------------

In downtown Athens, Ohio, on July 3rd, 2021, on the west side of South Congress Street between West Washington Street and West Union Street.
