This one-story frame house with clapboard siding had a steep-pitched roof with a gabled
dormer, and a shed roof porch along the full length of the front facade. It was the home
of Aaron Cosner, a building contractor who came to Arizona in 1879. The Cosner family
lived in the house from 1909 to 1921. Loren E. Ensign bought the house in 1921. Ensign was
a veteran of the Spanish-American War who served as the Tempe City Clerk, and was a clerk
at the Tempe Ginning Company. The house was demolished about 1983.
