| Title | Aurora Street #78 |
| Description | One of two houses sharing this lot, this home was built by contractor Charles Witty (1829-1911) in 1880. The earlier one was moved to 80 Oviatt Street in 1920. The Morse family once lived here. One of the Morse boys, John F. Morse, Jr. (1905-1994), was the founder of local company Morse Instrument Company (later Morse Controls) and had 75 patents for instruments used in air, on land and at sea. John's quieter brother Leland Morse (1912-1984) inscribed his initials (LMM) in the banister of this house. Leland married a local girl and soon moved to Michigan, where he was employed with an automobile manufacturer. |
