This two story Colonial Revival style house was built in 1912 by Edward “E.L.” Morgan, owner of a tobacco warehouse on West Davis Street, and remained in the Morgan family until the 1940s. The house was previously numbered as 700 West Davis. The Morgans were very involved with the Baptist Church where Mrs. Morgan taught Sunday school. Mrs. Morgan enjoyed entertaining in the house and was noted in the local paper in 1914 as hosting “one of the most enjoyable social events ever witnessed in Burlington.” Mrs. Morgan died in 1951. Later the home was owned by the Southern family, who lived and operated Southern Music Studio for thirty years in the house. The house has undergone several renovations, including removal of the widow’s walk and replacement of the original wraparound porch with a single bay projecting portico with pedimented gables supported by Tuscan columns. The porch includes a leaded glass transom with sidelights. The interior of the house features a central-hall, double-pile plan with gabled roof projections on both sides. On the rear of the house, there is a one story ell addition and a two story enclosed porch, which were used as musical practice rooms. The location of the main staircase was changed, and several fireplaces were closed but several original mantles remain intact. The house retains original pocket doors, paneled wainscoting, and bathroom tile. Current owners are Burlington Mayor Ian Baltutis and Dr. Kristina Baltutis. In 2019, the Baltutis’ did an extensive kitchen renovation, including new flooring and cabinetry.
