History/Significance: This Bungalow style house may have been built for the Herschel O. Miller family around 1917. Miller occupied this house by 1920 and was there through the mid-1920s. The house had a series of occupants, several of them renters, over the next several years. Nannie and Edgar J. Tatum, a station manager, lived there in the early 1930s; Hazel and James B. Walker, a store manager, were there in 1934; Helen and Ralph T. Middleton, a batteryman, lived there in 1938. Following World War II, Edith P. Lewis owned and occupied the house. Wilbur Whipp owned 715 in 1952, and E.A. Jennings was owner in 1954.
