While it has the look of a former residence, this ranch-style building at the corner of Sidney Baker and Jefferson streets was purpose-built for Dr. C. H. Borchers for his dental clinic in 1949. A photo of the building when new is below. Designed and constructed by Bob Hill, the building was erected at a cost of $13,000.

His dental practice was here until May 1981 when he sold the building and moved to new offices.
You may be wondering why I would include such a "modern" building in this history blog.
One basic criterion for listing on the National Register of Historic Places is that a building be at least 50 years old. While it isn't particularly notable otherwise, the building is older than that. Besides, I was just curious!
