The house today
The City's list of addresses no longer has 2906 Carolina Street, so the building is probably gone (inferred); two doors along, 2920 still has one from before 1946, one of four on the block. A permit to build a frame house at 2906–2910 Carolina was taken out in April 1910 by S Hovick, owner and builder: $4,000.
