This house was built circa 1880 and owned by carpenter Charles C. Dorr. Dorr was an assessor and building inspector for the City of Dover until about 1910 when he retired. After his death in 1921, his wife Elizabeth remained here until 1924. The following year, the home passed to Dorr’s grandson, Horace L. Cilley.
