Ermine Coffee, the daughter of W.A. Carmean, president of the Citizens State Bank of Chadron, moved to town in 1911 and built a home at 427 Chadron Avenue.
This two and one-half story house has a twin gable arrangement on the east consisting of a bay window capped by a gable that parallels the angle of the main roof gable. The shed-roofed dormer admits light to a third story and matches the shed-roofed porch below.
An attractive carriage house is recessed to the rear of the lot to give balance to the tall Victorian house. This large house was later owned by A.W. Crites, early Chadron lawyer and business associate of the Coffee family.
