A picture window flanked by four-light casement windows pierces the wall to the doorway's left.

In addition to maintaining ownership of the subject propetty, the Hellmers also worked as realtors with the Gottsacker Real Estate Company of Sheboygan. Eugene died in 1998 and the investment property remains in Marcella Prange Hellmer's ownership."
