The Allen House sits on the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Second Street on lots 17-18. The house was built in 1907; it is a two story, four bedroom, two bath, Victorian style house. This old Victorian house has a square shape with a gabled roof. The facade of the house, which faces Lincoln Avenue, has a covered porch. Under the porch roof on the first floor on the left side, there is a picture window; the front entrance is set off to the right. A bay window juts out into the yard on the south side of the house. Wooden lap siding covers the house. In the older picture there was a white picket fence but now is a black wrought iron fence.
The Allen House was built in 1907 by a German man by the name of Mr.Gumprecht. Mr.Gumprecht built the house for The Allens. Larry Amerein was an owner between the Allens and the current owners, the Moreaus.
