The story

Behind the sketch.

Built in the late 1880s, the Merts House is a compact two-story residence from Old Town's Victorian expansion. Its wood-frame construction, gabled roof, and fireplace give it the familiar outline of a practical nineteenth-century family home, rather than a grand showplace.
