Looks like she was a speculator...George W. Perkins, a real estate man, was living there by the time the '07CD was issued. He died in 1916...

His wife and a daughter remained in the house, the daughter with her husband until about 1930 it seems. Thing is, the two Perkins girls were born
in 1885 & 1887, so the kids in the pic can't be them....
Thanks for the information, GW. I appreciate it.

1916 Building Permit to extend the rear bedroom by 8' and add on a sleeping porch. (I wasn't able to locate the original 1904 building permit)
