| Additional Information: | 2013 - I-94 Supplemental Survey - WisDOT ID #1060-27-01 "Henry and Bernice Schultz lived in this house from 1929 to at least 1959. Henry was an employee of Pittsburg Paint & Glass in 1930, shortly after which he started working as a cashier for the Plankington Recreation Company. He died in 1966 when he was 79 years old." "This one-and-one-half story, clapboard-sheathed bungalow with clipped gables and clipped gable dormers, rises from a rusticated concrete-block foundation. It is oriented on an east/west axis and situated on the west side of S. 68th Street. The main entrance is at the far right side of the primary (east-facing) façade. It is sheltered by a round-arch overhang porch. Two, six-over-one-light, double-hung sash windows are immediately to the left of the entrance, to the left of which is a seven-sided projecting bay, each plane of which claims one six-light-over-one-light window. A modest, six-over-one-light, second-floor window is immediately beneath the clipped gable. A single, double-hung, sash window is set in each of the dormers. Beneath the dormer in the south plane of the roof, is a small bay with four, double-hung, sash windows. The remaining windows all appear to be original, with the exception of a casement window at the west end of the house’s south side. " 2020: Resurveyed. Little or no change. Update photo. |
