The Ward House at 2261 Estes Street was originally part of a chicken farm built in 1928 and used as such until 1933. The style of the
house is a Depression Era Arts and Crafts farmhouse.
Maude and Sam Huhn first inhabited the house. Maude was divorced from Al Ward. The chicken farm fell upon hard times during the
depression, and Maude's son Milton Ward purchased the property. Maude and Sam moved to a smaller house on the property while Milton and
his wife moved to the main house. Milton's wife complained that the smaller house was a "dump" and that it was "out in the
sticks."
Various members of the Ward family continued to live in the house until 1986. As of 2014, Matt and Karen Girard owned the
house.
