History

The land on which this house stands was first owned by Jacob Smith, the first European settler in the Flint area. He deeded the land to Petabonaqua, the daughter of Col. Lewis Beaufait and an Indian woman. The property then passed through the hands of several prominent Michigan residents, including Stevens T. Mason, the first governor of the State of Michigan; Grant Decker, the first mayor of Flint; and George L. Utley. The exact construction date of the house itself is uncertain, but it was likely built some time between 1873 and 1889 by Utley, Henry Crow, or E. R. Cookingham. H. Elmer Thayer, Flint Township Supervisor from 1893 to 1902, is the first owner who certainly lived in the house. [2]

Description

The H. Elmer Thayer House is a two-story red brick Italianate structure with an L-shaped floor plan. The door and window openings are topped by double brick segmented arches. over the home's door and windows are the major decorative elements and lend an Italianate flavor to the structure. The house is fronted with an open veranda supported by turned and bracketed column; this is a reconstruction of the original porch which was lost through deterioration and vandalism. [2]

gollark: This isn't for anything where I specifically need *sentences*, but just a reasonable bit of context around a link, so it could work to just look X words left/right instead.
gollark: Especially since I just realized another really bad one, "i.e." and such.
gollark: I checked nimble directory, but there don't *seem* to be things for this, but I was hoping someone might know where there is code for it because having to work out the edge cases myself would be bad.
gollark: I was thinking something like defining a sentence as having either an end-of-string or one of !?. at the end with a space after it.
gollark: I can probably come up with some sort of regex, but there would be annoying edge cases and stuff, so has anyone already *done* this and made a library?
