NOTES
Additional Information:One of four houses were constructed as investment property by Milton and Marcella Prange within the River Heights Subdivision, which the couple platted in 1955. Milton Prange died in 1962 and Marcella married Eugene Hellmer in 1968. In addition to maintaining ownership of the subject property, the Hellmers also worked as realtors with the Gottsacker Real Estate Company of Sheboygan. Eugene died in 1998.

See AHI 229293-229295.

2013- "This five-acre parcel contains under the master property address of N6237 River Heights Drive four austere, Ranch-style houses with individual mailing addresses: 229292, 229293, 229294 and 229295.

The third house (N6243: AHI 229294) is sheathed primarily with wide board siding with the whole upper half of the main (south) facade clad with sheet siding that presents a board-and-batten appearance. The main facade displays a doorway in the middle with a picture window flanked by four-light casement windows to the left (west) and casement (or slider) window to the right. Other fenestration consists of two-over-two, double-hung sashes with horizontal muntins. A matching, detached, one-car garage covered with sheet siding with a board-and-batten appearance is situated near the home's western endwall.

These four houses were constructed as investment property by Milton and Marcella Prange within the River Heights Subdivision, which the couple platted in 1955. Milton Prange died in 1962 and Marcella married Eugene Hellmer in 1968. 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."
