This house has a remodeled front since we lived in it. Its roof came out to the stone column for the entire front of the house because a front porch was under it. The new short overhang roof over the front windows allows more light into the living room. The gable end over the front doors is new. There is an addition in the rear that would make the kitchen bigger. That was where the old open back porch used to be.
Pause your cursor on the front cellar window. We lived here at two different times. When I was 4 and when I was 8.

In 1920 a new mill named Kent Mill opened within walking distance of this new home. That is where Grant and his daughter Rose worked. Some combination of Yarnalls lived in this house into the late 1950s. I suspect it was until my Aunt Rose no longer lived there after she was taken to Fair Acres for her cancer treatment and care. She died in 1957.
The picture on the left is from google maps in 2017. It shows how the neighborhood looks. A porch is enclosed on the house to the right next to where we lived. Sidewalks have been replaced and enlarged. In 2020 the houses will be 100 years old. They look pretty good. The curb was where I played curb ball for many hours.
