Perhaps most interesting about this home is its connection with its neighbor up the road. John C. Ellers was a prominent house joiner for many years and a Civil War veteran. His son, Amasa S. Ellers, a house joiner himself, lived in the house up the hill on the south side of York Street. When comparing the two homes you will see similar architectural elements in each — as if ''related'' like their owners were.
