OHD Notes
From the walking brochure: "11 Driver House 9335 Congress Street c. 1917-22. This was the former site of the Smith Creek Baptist Church (1833-1918). The present home was completed in 1919 by Dr. and Mrs. W.F. Driver and was under construction for four years due to a short- age of building materials that resulted from WWI. This may account for the eclectic blend of architectural details: a porch pedi- ment, double pilasters, hipped roof and bay gable. Bricks and beams from the church were also used in the construction of the house. Dr. Driver had his office in the home until his death in 1922, after which Mrs. Driver rented out rooms."
