When the Longnecker House was built in 1898, this area was just being built up and "town" was considered 1/2 mile to the west where the downtown core is located to this day.
In the 1895 Atlas, there were only a couple of houses on the other side of the street and the property to the east was still a farm with no street between the properties.
By 1909, the farm was turned into City Park with a new extension of Oak Street separating it from the Longnecker property, which became a corner lot.
The town grew rapidly after that, and now the Longnecker House is firmly in the middle of town, albeit on a more generous lot than most other houses built afterwards.
