Description:  
Story 1: James M. Alexander Jr., architect of 405-2 house, was a professor of architecture at the University of Cincinnati and  later Dean (see his notes and pictures in the file of the old house before demolition and of the foundations).
  "I don't know how long the Abbott Johnsons lived in the house.  Approximately 12-15 years later I was invited to a party there.  At that time it was owned and occupied by the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Reed F. Stockdale of Clifton.  I don't remember the daughter's married name or that of her husband."  (James Alexander)
